Separate 4K Instances

This project supports running separate 4K instances of Sonarr and Radarr alongside the standard instances. This allows you to manage 4K content with different quality profiles and settings.

To enable separate 4K instances, set the following in inventory/group_vars/all/service_misc.yml:

separate_4k_instances_enable: yes

When enabled, two additional containers will be deployed:

ContainerHost PortContainer PortTraefik Subdomain
sonarr-4k89908989sonarr-4k.<domain>
radarr-4k78797878radarr-4k.<domain>

These containers share the same media library mount as the standard instances but have their own separate configuration directories.

If App Bootstrap is enabled, the 4K instances will be automatically connected to:

  • Prowlarr — Added as additional apps for indexer syncing
  • Download clients — Configured with the same download clients (Transmission, qBittorrent, Deluge) as the standard instances

If you are using the UniFi DNS role, 4K instance DNS records (sonarr-4k, radarr-4k) are automatically created when unifi_dns_include_4k_instances is set to true (the default).

Otherwise, create DNS records for sonarr-4k.<domain> and radarr-4k.<domain> pointing to your server.

If Authentik is enabled for Sonarr and/or Radarr, separate Authentik outpost configurations are automatically generated for the 4K instances.

When Homepage is enabled, the 4K instances appear in a separate “Managers - 4K” group on the dashboard.
