Overview

Radarr is an open source movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It keeps a list of the films you want, works out which are missing or could be upgraded to a better quality, searches the indexers you configure, hands releases to your download client, and then renames and files the results into a consistently organised library. A clean web interface gives you a calendar of upcoming releases, a full movie and status view, quality profiles, and a rich activity and history view, while a documented version 3 REST API exposes the same capability for automation.

It suits anyone self hosting a media library: home media servers feeding a player such as Jellyfin or Plex, film archives, and teams that want an automated, auditable pipeline from indexer to organised library inside their own cloud account.

Why the cloudimg image

Radarr normally starts with authentication switched off, which means anyone who can reach it gets full control of the application and of its API key. cloudimg closes that gap. Authentication is enforced, and a unique administrator password plus a unique API key are generated on the first boot of every instance and written to a root only file. The password is handed to Radarr's own account creation path, so it is stored only as a salted, heavily iterated one way hash and is never left in plain text on disk. Nothing usable is baked into the image, so no two instances ever share a credential. Radarr runs as a dedicated unprivileged system user inside a hardened systemd sandbox, the official release is verified against the checksum the project publishes before it is unpacked, and automatic updates are turned off so a running instance never silently drifts from the published image. An unauthenticated health endpoint is provided so load balancer probes need no credential. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
