Introducing Configarr: Streamlining Configuration Management for Sonarr and Radarr

In the world of media server management, keeping your configurations up-to-date and consistent can be a challenging task. Today, we’re excited to introduce Configarr, a powerful tool designed to simplify this process for Sonarr and Radarr users.

What is Configarr?

Configarr is an open-source configuration and synchronization tool specifically created for Sonarr and Radarr, two popular media management applications. It aims to streamline the process of maintaining and updating configurations, custom formats, and quality profiles across your media server setup[8].

Key Features

Configarr offers a range of features that make it stand out:

1. TRaSH Guides Integration: Easily sync custom formats and settings from the popular TRaSH Guides directly into your Sonarr and Radarr instances[8].

2. Custom Format Support: In addition to TRaSH Guides, Configarr allows you to include your own defined custom formats, giving you more flexibility in managing your media library[8].

3. Multiple Configuration Sources: Configarr supports syncing from TRaSH Guides, local files, and configurations defined directly in the tool’s config file[8].

4. Flexible Deployment Options: Run Configarr using Docker, docker-compose, or even as a Kubernetes CronJob for regular synchronization[8].

5. Compatibility: Currently supports Sonarr v4 and Radarr v4, ensuring you’re working with the latest versions of these applications[8].

Why Use Configarr?

Managing media servers can be time-consuming, especially when it comes to keeping up with best practices and optimal configurations. Configarr addresses this by:

• Automating Updates: Stay current with the latest recommended settings from TRaSH Guides without manual intervention.
• Enhancing Consistency: Ensure all your instances are configured identically, reducing discrepancies and potential issues.
• Saving Time: Spend less time on configuration management and more time enjoying your media library.

Getting Started

To start using Configarr, you’ll need a few things:

1. A config.yml file to define your synchronization settings.
2. A secrets.yml file for storing sensitive information like API keys.
3. Optionally, custom format definitions in local files or within your config.
