Unpackerr
Extracts downloads for Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and/or a Watch folder - Deletes extracted files after import
Unpackerr runs as a daemon on your download host or seedbox. It checks for completed downloads and extracts them so Lidarr, Radarr, Readarr, and Sonarr may import them.

unpackerrInstalling it
Open the dashboard, go to Apps, press Add on it and apply the change. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install unpackerrWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Unpackerr | :5656 | No account. The page is a status view; everything is configured from Settings here. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- It needs an API key per app — Radarr and Sonarr both show theirs under Settings → General
- Use the container names for the URLs: http://radarr:7878, http://sonarr:8989. localhost here is this container
- It only touches archives. If an import is stuck on something that is already a video file, the problem is elsewhere — usually permissions or a path the app cannot see
