Connect Radarr
Add Radarr to Kochab with your API key, default port 7878, and optional reverse-proxy base path.
Radarr is a movie library manager. Kochab uses its API directly for library, search, calendar, and the download queue.
What Kochab exposes through Radarr
- Blended tabs: Search, Library, Calendar/Wanted, and Radarr grabs in Downloads
- Control screen: health, disk, commands (refresh, RSS sync, search missing), read-only profiles and root folders
- Detail pages: movie management via the shared Servarr UI
Not exposed through Radarr
Full Radarr admin (custom formats, download clients, indexers, notifications) stays in Radarr’s web UI. Container control requires a separate host entry if needed.
Before you start
In Radarr: Settings -> General -> Security -> API Key. Copy the key shown there.
Default connection
| Field | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Port | 7878 |
| Scheme | http on LAN, https behind a reverse proxy |
| Auth | API key in the X-Api-Key header |
Add in Kochab
- Open Services -> Add service and choose Radarr.
- Enter your host (same as the rest of your stack if Radarr runs on the same box).
- Set port 7878 unless you use a custom port or proxy.
- Paste the API key.
- If Radarr sits behind a reverse proxy with a subpath, set Base path to match Radarr’s URL base.
- Tap Test and add.
TLS
If Radarr uses a self-signed certificate, Kochab prompts you to trust the fingerprint before saving. See Certificate trust.
Tips
- The first service you add sets the host for the stack; later services on the same machine only need a port change.
- For access away from home, add an external address on the stack so Kochab switches automatically.
