Connecting Containers

Connecting the Containers to each other

When connecting containers together, such as Prowlarr to Sonarr and Radarr or Sonarr/Radarr to Seerr, use the container name (e.g. prowlarr or radarr) and the container port (e.g. prowlarr:9696 or radarr:7878).

For the names and port of each container to use, get the Container Name and Container Port values from the Container Map.

Note

Do NOT use HTTPS/SSL/TLS when connecting the apps using this method as it will likely fail. The containers do not have certificates configured for internal communication.

This is safe because all traffic using this method stays within the internal Docker network and never leaves the host.

If you connect apps using your DNS records instead of container names, then you would use HTTPS.

Prowlarr Example

Here’s an example within Prowlarr that would connect it to Radarr:

HTTP Proxy for Arr Services

Transmission, qBittorrent, and Deluge all have a HTTP proxy that will route requests through the VPN connection.

You can configure other apps to connect to these containers proxy services by using transmission:8888, qbittorrent:8118, or deluge:8118, depending on which you are using.
