  • 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
  • master (Default/Stable): It has been tested by users on nightly branch and it's not known to have any major issues. This is currently v2. This version is effectively end of life and no longer receiving updates.
  • develop (Former Nightly/Beta) : This was the bleeding edge, when development was being done on v2. 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 (Nightly/Beta): This is beta. This is currently v3. Once you upgrade to v3 you cannot go back to v2.
• 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.
