Sonarr on Cresdock
Sonarr watches for new episodes of the TV shows you tell it to follow, then finds and grabs them automatically through your indexers and download client.
What Cresdock sets up for you
Seeded with its own API key and web address the moment it's installed — reachable at your panel address immediately, no separate Sonarr password to set (it authenticates through your panel login).
If you also install Recyclarr, it wires itself to Sonarr automatically for TRaSH-guide quality profiles — no config file to write by hand.
Connecting Sonarr to a download client or indexer inside its own Settings is a normal *arr step (a few clicks) — Cresdock doesn't fake that part, it just gets everything else out of your way first.

Common questions
Do I need to know Docker to run Sonarr?
No — it's a one-click install through the panel, same as every app in the catalog.
Is my Sonarr data safe during an update?
Yes. Updates and reinstalls change Sonarr's own configuration only — never your downloaded files or media library, by design.
Can I remove Sonarr later without losing my setup?
Removing it can keep its configuration for a future reinstall — you choose when you remove it.
