Sonarr - TV collection manager
Sonarr authentication

As the app doesn't support OIDC, we use forward authentication instead. But to prevent needing to double authenticate, you should configure authentication as External.

  1. Setup authentication as standard on your first visit

    • Authentication method: Forms (Login page)
    • Authentication required: Enabled
    • Username: karo
    • Password: forgetthispassword

  2. Down the stack

  3. Run the following as karo, substituting the word 'Forms' with 'External' in the app's config file.

    # set sonarr's auth to external
sudo sed -i 's/Forms/External/' /home/dockeruser/.local/share/docker/volumes/sonarr_data/_data/config.xml
