​Couchpotato is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a movies I want list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.

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/couchpotato 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:

Usage

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

docker

docker create \
  --name=couchpotato \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e UMASK_SET=022 \
  -p 5050:5050 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
  -v </path/to/movies>:/movies \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/couchpotato

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  couchpotato:
    image: linuxserver/couchpotato
    container_name: couchpotato
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - UMASK_SET=022
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/downloads>:/downloads
      - </path/to/movies>:/movies
    ports:
      - 5050:5050
    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)

Environment Variables (-e)

Volume Mappings (-v)

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

Access the webui at <your-ip>:5050, for more information check out CouchPotato.

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running:

  • docker exec -it couchpotato /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:

  • docker logs -f couchpotato

• Container version number

  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' couchpotato

• Image version number

  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/couchpotato
