Question

Lidarr not used, but container wouldn't run

AustinTylerDean opened this issue a year ago · 7 comments

It might have been the fact that I changed the the Lidarr default url to include my IP address? But either way I didn't fill in the Lidarr API and it wouldn't run.

Maybe you can sprinkle some magic that only errors out if the API is used. But I got it running by deleting the Lidarr URL and API lines in the container config screen.

Thanks for keeping this updated! I has no idea what I would do without it.

Providing an invalid configuration (a url without an api key) generates an error on startup. If you're asking me to change that, sorry no, too many folks would be negatively affected. If you're asking for something else, please elaborate.

The description states that leaving the API blank is the directive for not using the service. I'm just saying that isn't technically true. When downloading the container, the Lidarr URL field is automatically populated. This is confusing. I would not populate the Lidarr URL, or make the note state that nothing should be in either entry, or do what you say you won't. Or not, just trying to be helpful. There's probably a lot of idiots like me out there.

Is this an unRaid report or another OS that comes with pre-populated fields?

Unraid container, yes. I don't exactly know what you mean by report, forgive me!

Which template did you use?

The one I maintain is here: https://github.com/selfhosters/unRAID-CA-templates/blob/master/templates/unpackerr.xml#L17-L18
And you can see it says:

If you don't use one of Lidarr, Sonarr or Radarr, simply empty those two fields for that app and it wont be polled.

In bold even. The two fields it refers to are url and api key. Is that inaccurate?

It clearly looks like I'm an idiot. But if you KNEW me, you'd probably think the same thing. I swear my eyes read "leave API blank" and nothing else, but you seem to have that base covered. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Maybe I shouldn't leave feedback anymore.. like ever.

I checked the hotio template too, and he doesn't use env variables. His template mounts /config and uses a config file by default. There's no description at all.

I'm not aware of a third template, so this may just be a case of your eyes playing tricks on you.

Glad you got it working! Thanks for the report!
