Rarrnomore - prevent automatic grabs of rar'd scene releases

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for you deleting any torrents. Please test your setup before running it unmonitored. You need to set your torrent clients in Radarr and Sonarr to start new torrents in the paused state.

Notes

• currently, only qBittorrent and Transmission are supported

This application works by monitoring Radarr and Sonarr Grab requests through web hooks that you need to set up. Once it receives a notification, it instantly connects to your torrent client, finds the torrent that was just added and checks its contents. If it finds a .rar or partial rar (.r01) file, it sends a request to your *arr application to delete this item from the queue and blocklist that torrent. If no rar is found, it sends a request to your torrent client to resume the torrent, starting the download.

Setup

Currently, the code is only published as a docker image. If you cannot use Docker, you have to compile it yourself an executable jar for Spring Boot.

Setting up Docker

• map /config from within the container to a host folder of your choice
• within that host folder, put a copy of application.yml from this repository
• choose either QBITTORRENT or TRANSMISSION (credentials not required for Transmission, if disabled)
• adjust said copy with your own info like *arr API keys and your preferred port
• forward the port you've chosen from your container to the host system

Important: The clients.torrent.name property needs to exactly match the name you gave your client in Sonarr/Radarr, this is validated against web hook requests at runtime.

A docker run command may look like this:

docker run
-d
--name='rarrnomore'
-e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="rarrnomore"
-p 8978:8978
-v '/mnt/user/appdata/rarrnomore/config':'/config':'rw' 'ghcr.io/schaka/rarrnomore'

An example of a docker-compose.yml may look like this:

services:
  janitorr:
    container_name: rarrnomore
    image: ghcr.io/schaka/rarrnomore:latest
    volumes:
      - /appdata/janitorr/config:/config

A native image is also published for every tagged release. It keeps a much lower memory and CPU footprint and doesn't require longer runtimes to achieve optimal performance (JIT). If you restart more often than once a week or have a very low powered server, this is now recommended. That image is always tagged :native. To get a specific version, use :native-v1.x.x. It also requires you to map application.yml slightly differently - see below:

services:
  janitorr:
    container_name: janitorr
    image: ghcr.io/schaka/rarrnomore:native
    volumes:
      - /appdata/rarrnomore/config/application.yml:/workspace/application.yml

To get the latest build as found in the development branch, grab the following image: ghcr.io/schaka/rarrnomore:develop.

Setting up Unraid

• Go to Docker, click "Add Container" at the bottom
• enter image name 'schaka/rarrnomore'
• Click "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device", choose Path
• map Container Path /config to host path /mnt/user/appdata/rarrnomore/config
• for native, map Container Path /app/application.yml to host path /mnt/user/appdata/rarrnomore/config/application.yml
• map Container Port 8978 to host port 8978

It should look like this:

Configuring your web hook

• open Sonarr/Radarr, go to Settings => Connect
• click '+', choose Webhook, choose a name
• only enable Notification trigger 'Grab'
• enter http://rarrnomore:8978/hook/sonarr, where IP and port need to match your Docker container
• replace sonarr with radarr if applicable
• choose method POST, save the settings

It should look like this:
