Updates

Radarr

See Also: FAQ: How do I update Radarr?

• Branch - This is the branch of Radarr that you are running on. Please see the FAQ for available branches and version information
• Automatic - Automatically download and install updates. You will still be able to install from System: Updates
• Mechanism - Use Radarr's built-in updater or a script
  • Docker - Do not update Radarr from inside the Docker, instead pull a brand new image with the new update
  • Script - Have Radarr run the update script

Sonarr

• Branch - This is the branch of Sonarr that you are running on. Please see Github for available branches and version information. These branches only apply to V3.
  • main (Stable): It has been tested by users on nightly branch and it's not known to have any major issues.
  • develop (Nightly) : This is the bleeding edge. It is released as soon as code is committed and passes all automated tests. This build may have not been used by us or other users yet. There is no guarantee that it will even run in some cases.
  • phantom-develop (v3-preview): This is EOL and will be redirected to main. There will be no more updates to this branch.
• Automatic - Automatically download and install updates. You will still be able to install from System: Updates
• Mechanism - Use Sonarr built-in updater or a script
  • Built-in - Use Sonarr's own updater
  • Script - Have Sonarr run the update script
  • Docker - Do not update Sonarr from inside the Docker, instead pull a brand new image with the new update
  • Apt - Set by the Debian/Ubuntu package when updating is managed exclusively via Apt

• Script - Visible only when Mechanism is set to Script - Path to update script

• Update Process - Sonarr will download the update file, verify its integrity and extract it to a temporary location and call the chosen method. The update process will be be run under the same user that Sonarr is run under, it will need permissions to update the Sonarr files as well as stop/start Sonarr.
  • Built-in - The built-in method will backup Sonarr files and settings, stop Sonarr, update the installation and Start Sonarr, if your system will not handle the stopping of Sonarr and will attempt to restart it automatically it may be best to use a script instead. In the event of failure the previous version of Sonarr will be restarted.
  • Script - The script should handle the the same as the built-in updater, if you need to handle stopping and starting services (upstart/launchd/etc) you will need to do that here.

Lidarr

• If your using a docker container to run your Lidarr instance. Do not update Lidarr while inside the container. This has a bad tendancy to break things. Instead update the actual docker image which has the most current build.

Readarr

• If your using a docker container to run your Lidarr instance. Do not update Lidarr while inside the container. This has a bad tendancy to break things. Instead update the actual docker image which has the most current build.
