Connect Lidarr
Add Lidarr to Kochab with your API key and default port 8686.
Lidarr is a music library manager. Kochab uses its API directly for library, search, calendar, and the download queue.
What Kochab exposes through Lidarr
- Blended tabs: Search, Library, Calendar/Wanted, and Lidarr grabs in Downloads
- Control screen: health, disk, commands, read-only profiles and root folders
- Detail pages: artist/album management via the shared Servarr UI
Not exposed through Lidarr
Full Lidarr admin stays in Lidarr’s web UI. Container control requires a separate host entry if needed.
