Connect

Connect one downloader and one source. When both pass Test, HolyArrs can find and fetch titles.

HolyArrs does not download by itself. A downloader (qBittorrent, SABnzbd and others) fetches files. A source is a feed HolyArrs searches for releases, usually through Prowlarr or Jackett.

Before you start

• A downloader running and reachable from HolyArrs, with its address and password or API key.
• Prowlarr or Jackett with at least one site set up, and its API key.

Connect a downloader

1. Open Settings > Downloaders and press Add a Downloader.

2. Under Which app, pick your app and type a Name.

3. Type the Address of its web page, such as http://192.168.1.10:8090.

4. Fill in its sign-in:

   App	Sign-in
   qBittorrent	API key (5.2 or newer, in Options > Web UI) or Username and password
   SABnzbd	API key, in Config > General
   Transmission	Username and password, empty if it asks for none. Version 4 or newer
   Deluge	Web UI password, no username
   NZBGet	Username and password

5. Press Save, then Test on its row.

   You should see Working next to its name.

Link Prowlarr or Jackett

1. Open Settings > Sources and find the Prowlarr or Jackett card.

2. Press Link and pick Prowlarr or Jackett.

3. Type the Address. Usual ports: 9696 for Prowlarr, 9117 for Jackett. For Jackett, include its base path if you use one.

4. Paste the API key. Prowlarr: Settings > General. Jackett: its main page.

5. Press Test, then Link.

   You should see your sites listed as sources. From Prowlarr they arrive within 1 minute.

Note

Linking Prowlarr needs a HolyArrs password on your account. The card links to your account page if you have none.

Choices

Category

HolyArrs puts its downloads in one category and only watches that one. qBittorrent makes it if missing. SABnzbd needs it made first, under Config > Categories.

Downloader in another container

If the downloader sees the download folder under another name, set Downloader’s path and HolyArrs’ path, such as /data/torrents and /downloads. With the shared layout from Folders you need neither.

Prowlarr or Jackett

Prowlarr pushes its sites to HolyArrs and keeps them current. HolyArrs pulls from Jackett every 6 hours and when you press Sync. Both work; use the one you already run.

If it does not work

You see	Cause	Fix
Not answering	Wrong address, or the containers cannot reach each other	Use the IP and port you open in your browser, not localhost
Sign-in refused	Wrong key or password	Copy it again from the app, save, press Test
SABnzbd test fails on category	Category does not exist	Make it in SABnzbd under Config > Categories
Prowlarr links but no sources arrive	Prowlarr cannot reach HolyArrs	Press Change on the card and give an address Prowlarr can open

For experts

Stored keys are encrypted and never shown again. Moving a downloader to a new host needs the key typed again. Full page: Downloaders.

Sources by hand

HolyArrs reads Torznab (torrents), Newznab (Usenet) and RSS (newest only, no search) feeds itself. Settings > Sources > Add a Source, pick Kind of feed, paste Address and Key, tick Reach the local network for a feed on your home network, Save. It tests right away. Full page: Sources.
