radarr, docker & nvenc

UntouchedWagons , 6 months ago

I don’t have exact instructions off the top of my head but you need to install the nvidia container runtime and set the container’s runtime to nvidia. I can’t think of a reason why radarr would need nvenc though; jellyfin, plex or tdarr sure.

For conversion of videos after download. I don’t use tdarr. Doing what you suggest works for Sonarr, but not radar because of different base images. Two different groups maintaining those projects I guess.

Edit: this is the issue I’m speaking about in particular:

It’s still not clear to me why you’d need nvenc for radarr.

Oh right I completely missed that. I should go to bed. I wasn’t aware radarr had that functionality.

Highly recommend using tdarr. Not just because the radarr container won't do it, but because tdarr is so incredibly powerful.

I’m also gonna pop in. I just did a second run through on my library removing 720p and below from the ignore list. It’s quite literally set and forget.

I assume tdarr will take a handoff/trigger from Radarr to operate on a file?

It can. Most people just use the filesystem watcher, but this looks nice. https://github.com/deathbybandaid/tdarr_inform
