DEPRECATION NOTICE

This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated. We will continue releases with a new image under the correct name: linuxserver/nzbhydra2.

Hydra2 is a meta search application for NZB indexers, the "spiritual successor" to NZBmegasearcH, and an evolution of the original application NZBHydra.

It provides easy access to a number of raw and newznab based indexers. The application NZBHydra 2 is replacing NZBHydra 1 and supports migrating from V1. Be wary that there may be some compatibility issues for those migrating from V1 to V2, so ensure you back up your old configuration before moving over to the new version. NOTE: The last version that supports migration is linuxserver/hydra2:v2.10.2-ls49

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/hydra2 should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture Tag
x86-64 amd64-latest
arm64 arm64v8-latest
armhf arm32v7-latest

Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.

Tag Description
latest Stable releases
dev Prereleases from their GitHub

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=hydra2 \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 5076:5076 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <nzb download>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/hydra2

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  hydra2:
    image: linuxserver/hydra2
    container_name: hydra2
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <nzb download>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 5076:5076
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Parameter Function
5076 WebUI

Environment Variables (-e)

Env Function
PUID=1000 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000 for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Europe/London Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function
/config Where hydra2 should store config files.
/downloads NZB download folder.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

The web interface is at <your ip>:5076 , to set up indexers and connections to your nzb download applications.

Docker Mods

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.
