Rasmus Wejlgaard 3f9066d4cd media_stack: capture london-b sonarr.service unit in repo (PESO-140)
sonarr was the only *arr service without its systemd unit in the repo —
it was treated as package-managed and never captured, so a london-b
rebuild would lose the unit. Capture the running unit (APT/mono Sonarr
v3) into ansible/services/sonarr/sonarr.service and have the media_stack
role deploy it to /etc/systemd/system like radarr/lidarr/prowlarr,
overriding the package-owned copy. Move sonarr out of the
package-managed enable loop into the custom-unit deploy + enable loops.

Sonarr

TV series management and automated downloading.

Deployment

  • Host: london-b
  • Install method: APT package (sonarr v3, mono-based)
  • Service: sonarr.service (in this directory, deployed to /etc/systemd/system/ by the media_stack role)
  • Data directory: /var/lib/sonarr
  • Web UI: sonarr.pez.sh (proxied via Caddy on helsinki-a)
  • Managed by: media_stack Ansible role (deploys the unit, then ensures it is enabled and started)

Notes

The APT package ships its own unit at /usr/lib/systemd/system/sonarr.service. The unit here was captured from that running unit and is deployed to /etc/systemd/system/sonarr.service, which overrides the package copy so the unit lives in IaC alongside the other *arr services (radarr / lidarr / prowlarr). Because of the override, package updates to the unit no longer apply automatically — re-capture this file if the package unit changes.

Unlike radarr/lidarr/prowlarr (manually installed /opt binaries), Sonarr is mono-based, so ExecStart runs Sonarr.exe via /usr/bin/mono. To change User/Group/UMask/-data, edit sonarr.service here rather than running dpkg-reconfigure -plow sonarr.

The media_stack role also sets up a midnight cron restart (systemctl restart sonarr).
