linuxserver/bazarr
Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It can manage and download subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/bazarr should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker
docker create \
--name=bazarr \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-e UMASK_SET=022 `#optional` \
-p 6767:6767 \
-v </path/to/bazarr/config>:/config \
-v </path/to/movies>:/movies \
-v </path/to/tv:/tv \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/bazarr
You can choose between ,using tags, various branch versions of bazarr, no tag is required to remain on the main branch. Add one of the tags, if required, to the linuxserver/bazarr line of the run/create command in the following format, linuxserver/bazarr:development The development tag will be the latest commit in the development branch of bazarr. HOWEVER , USE THE DEVELOPMENT BRANCH AT YOUR OWN PERIL !!!!!!!!!
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2"
services:
bazarr:
image: linuxserver/bazarr
container_name: bazarr
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
- UMASK_SET=022 #optional
volumes:
- </path/to/bazarr/config>:/config
- </path/to/movies>:/movies
- </path/to/tv:/tv
ports:
- 6767:6767
restart: unless-stopped
Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-p 6767 |
Allows HTTP access to the internal webserver. |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
-e UMASK_SET=022 |
control permissions of files and directories created by Bazarr |
-v /config |
Bazarr data |
-v /movies |
Location of your movies |
-v /tv |
Location of your TV Shows |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Application Setup
- Once running the URL will be
http://<host-ip>:6767. - You must complete all the setup parameters in the webui before you can save the config.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it bazarr /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f bazarr - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' bazarr
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/bazarr
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Run/Create
- Update the image:
docker pull linuxserver/bazarr - Stop the running container:
docker stop bazarr - Delete the container:
docker rm bazarr - Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - Start the new container:
docker start bazarr - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Compose
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull bazarr
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d bazarr
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)
- Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once bazarr
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bazarr.git
cd docker-bazarr
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t linuxserver/bazarr:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
