tdarr_autoscan

Original idea from tdarr_inform

This script is done entirely in bash, which means it can be used for docker containers, where you might not have python, and do not wish to modify the base image The primary difference though, is that this script needs additional input, via environment variables, where as tdarr_inform is more configurable, in just about every way.

This script is designed to be used with Sonarr or Radarr "custom scripts", on import/upgrade.

The following commands will download the script, and configure the correct permissions

1. cd /path/to/arr/config/folder

Usage

Required fields

The following environment variables are required to be set in your container

• TDARR_URL

  • For most users, it will probably be in the form of
    • http://ip:port
  • If you have docker networking configured, then you may use the container_name instead of the ip address
    • http://container_name:port
  • If you have a reverse proxy or SSL configured, then you may use the full tdarr site URL
    • https://site.domain

• TDARR_DB_ID

  • This value is a string hash, NOT an integer
  • The easiest way to determine what this value is, is to goto the libraries section in tdarr, and grab it from the URL after you've selected the correct library
  • The url (as of 1/16/23) is in the format https://tdarr.domain.#/libraries/<Database_ID>/source

Optional fields

• TDARR_PATH_TRANSLATE
  • This is intended to be used for path map translation, where your volume, is mounted at a different path than tdarr
  • This will be used as input to sed
  • This must be in the format search|replace
    • in the above example, only the first occurence of the word search, in the file path, will be replaced with the word replace
  • see this line in the script in the script
