sonarr-episode-trimmer

This is an updated fork of https://gitlab.com/spoatacus/sonarr-episode-trimmer with added Docker support, the new /episode/monitor endpoint, and webhook mode.

Usage with Docker

Building the image

1. Rename settings.config.example to settings.config and update the necessary details.
2. From the same folder as your config, build the Docker image:

docker build -t jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer .

Running the image

Use the following commands to run the Docker image:

• To complete the clean-up task:

docker run --rm --name=sonarr-trimmer jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer

• To use a configuration file on the host machine:

docker run --rm -v host_dir:/config --name=sonarr-trimmer jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer --config /config/myconfig

• To list the series:

docker run --rm --name=sonarr-trimmer jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer --list-series

• To pass API configuration through environment variables:

docker run --rm --name=sonarr-trimmer -e URL=http://myurl -e API_KEY=1234 jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer --list-series

Automating clean-up tasks

To automate the clean-up task, add a similar entry to your cron with crontab -e:

0 * * * * docker run --rm --name sonarr-trimmer jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer

Webhook mode

In this mode, the Docker image can be run as a web endpoint, which can be triggered by a Sonarr webhook. This is useful for configuring an automated clean-up process for your Sonarr library.

To run the image in webhook mode:

• Use the following command to start the container with the web endpoint:

  docker run -d --name=sonarr-trimmer -p 5000:5000 jonfairbanks/sonarr-episode-trimmer --web
  

• The web endpoint will be available at http://localhost:5000/webhoook (replace "localhost" with your IP or DNS name if needed).

• Configure a Sonarr webhook to trigger the clean-up process:

  • Give the webhook a name, such as "clean up".

  • Select the "On Import" event (this is when a file is downloaded).

  • Select a tag for the series that should be cleaned up (if any).

  • Enter the URL of the endpoint (http://<your-ip>:5000/webhook) in the "URL" field. Note that the endpoint will not perform clean-up when testing, so you can safely test the connection.

• Alternatively, you can use Sonarr tags to trigger the clean-up process:

  • Give any series for which the number of kept episodes is the same the same tag in Sonarr, e.g. keep-last.

  • Select this tag for your Sonarr webhook connection.

  • To specify the number of episodes to keep, add it to the path of the webhook URL, e.g. http://<your-ip>:5000/webhoook/1 will keep only 1 episode (i.e., the last one).

  • Note that this webhook option will execute clean-up for the triggering series with the given number, so don't use it without tags unless you want all of your series cleaned.

• It is recommended to pass the API configuration as environment variables when using the webhook mode. This way, you don't need to edit any configuration files or rebuild the image.
