A Better Sonarr/Radarr Request Bot for Discord

Why does this exist

• Uses modern Discord slash commands and components, which provides a clean, performant UI on desktop and mobile
  • This has the added benifit of not requiring privileged intents, so this bot will never look at message content
• Simple codebase, <1k lines of code which makes it easier to maintain. Code is not an asset
• Simple configuration, no need to have a whole web frontend just for configuration
• Powered by Clojure and Discljord, a markedly good combination 😛

Caveats

I wanted a clean app for the sole purpose of requesting movies/TV shows. I personally didn't need Siri integration, support for old API versions, Ombi, etc., so those features are missing here. If you need Ombi support (for managing many people requesting), I suggest you check out Overseerr instead. There is only a boolean permission (role gated) for who has access to the bot, nothing fancy.

If any of these don't suit your fancy, check out Requestrr

FAQ

Will you support Lidarr/Readarr/*arr

Not yet. The idea is that one can work directly with the collection managers or work through a request manager (Overseerr). As Overseerr doesn't support collections managers other than radarr/sonarr and I want feature-parity, those other managers will be left out until Overseerr supports them.

Why are the commands greyed out?

If you are using role-gating, due to how slash command permissions work in Discord, every user that intends to use the bot must have the assigned role you created. That includes the server owner/admins. Make sure that you assigned the role to yourself and the role ID you copied is correct.

Do you have a support server?

Yes! here

Setup

Please read all of this setup carefully. Most problems in deployment come from missing a step.

Java

If you are running without Docker, you need to have at least Java 11 installed, such as adoptium

Discord

1. Create a new Application in Discord
2. Go to the Bot tab and add a new bot
3. Copy out the token
4. Go to OAuth2 and under "OAuth2 URL Generator", enable applications.commands and bot
5. Copy the resulting URL and use as the invite link to your server

In the server for which you will use the bot, you have the option to restrict the commands to a certain role. For this, you need to create a new role for your users (or use an existing one). Then, grab that role id.

To do this:

1. Enable Developer Mode (User Settings -> Advanced -> Developer Mode)
2. Under your server settings, go to Roles, find the role and "Copy ID"

Every user that you wish to have access to the slash commands needs to be assigned this role (even the server owner/admins).

This is optional and by default the bot will be accessible to everyone on the server.

Sonarr/Radarr

1. Copy out your API keys from Settings -> General

Overseerr

Sonarr/Radarr and Overseerr are mutually exclusive - you only need to configure one. If you are using Overseerr, your users must have associated discord IDs, or the request will fail.

This bot isn't meant to wrap the entirety of what Overseerr can do, just the necessary bits for requesting with optional 4K and quota support. Just use the web interface to Overseerr if you need more features.

In the config, you replace SONARR_URL, SONARR_API, RADARR_URL, RADARR_API with OVERSEERR_URL and OVERSEERR_API.

Running with Docker

Simply run with

docker run \
-e SONARR_URL='http://localhost:8989' \
-e RADARR_URL='http://localhost:7878' \
-e SONARR_API='sonarr_api' \
-e RADARR_API='radarr_api' \
-e BOT_TOKEN='bot_token' \
--name doplarr ghcr.io/kiranshila/doplarr:latest

Building and Running Locally

You need the Clojure CLI tools to build

1. Clone directory
2. clj -T:build uber

To skip the build, just download Doplarr.jar and config.edn from the releases

Configuring

1. Fill out config.edn with the requisite things

Optional Settings

Environment Variable (Docker)	Config File Keyword	Type	Description
MAX_RESULTS	:max-results	Integer	Sets the maximum size of the search results selection
ROLE_ID	:role-id	String	The discord role id for users of the bot (omitting this lets everyone on the server use the bot)
PARTIAL_SEASONS	:partial-seasons	Boolean	Sets whether users can request partial seasons. Defaults to true or setting in Overseer

Setting up on Windows

1. Make a folder called Doplarr that contains the jar, the config file, and the following batch file (something like run.bat)

@ECHO OFF
start java -jar Doplarr.jar -Dconfig=config.edn

Setting up on Linux (as a systemd service)

1. Create the file /etc/systemd/system/doplarr.service with the following

[Unit]
Description=Doplarr Daemon
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/opt/Doplarr
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar target/Doplarr.jar -Dconfig=config.edn
TimeoutStopSec=20
KillMode=process
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Customize the user, group, and working directory to the location of the jar

Then, as root

3. systemctl -q daemon-reload
4. systemctl enable --now -q doplarr
