Docker Run

Before you begin, make sure you have reviewed the First Things section to understand environment variables and how to find your existing Radarr/Sonarr volume mappings.

Use Docker Compose

It is recommended to use Docker Compose, as it makes it easy to update to latest version and/or update the configuration later if needed

If you prefer not to use Docker Compose, you can use the docker run command. Be sure to replace placeholders with your actual paths and settings.

docker run -d \
  --name trailarr \
  -e TZ="America/New_York" \
  # Add any other environment variables as needed
  -p 7889:7889 \
  -v /path/to/your/trailarr:/config \
  -v /path/on/your/host/movies:/movies \
  -v /path/on/your/host/tv:/tv \
  # Add more volume mappings as needed
  --restart unless-stopped \
  nandyalu/trailarr:latest

Explanation of options:

For a detailed explanation of how to setup each of these see Docker Compose.

  • -d: Runs the container in detached mode (in the background).
  • --name trailarr: Assigns a name to the container.
  • -e OPTION=VALUE: An environment variable to use with the container.
  • -p 7889:7889: Maps port 7889 on your host to port 7889 in the container. Change the host port (left side) if needed.
  • -v HOST_PATH:CONTAINER_PATH: Map a HOST_PATH (path in your computer/server) to an INTERNAL_PATH (path inside Trailarr container).
  • --restart unless-stopped: Ensures the container restarts automatically when unhealthy.
  • nandyalu/trailarr:latest: The Docker image to use.

Now that Trailarr is up and running, we need to configure it to connect to our Radarr and Sonarr to let it start doing it's job - download trailers. We will go over that in the next section Setup.
