Setup & Configuration

Preparation

There are some things we need to do in preparation to install this service.

Volumes

Persistent Data

This is where the service will store its own application data and ensures we can quickly update the service image.

Ensure your user has permissions to access the folder.

Media Folders

Radarr will need access to the folders where you store your movie and television files. 

Ensure your user has permissions to access the folder.

For example: America/Vancouver
