How to Install HolyArrs on Your UGREEN NAS

HolyArrs is a free, open-source, self-hosted app that replaces the usual stack of Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Bazarr, Prowlarr and Seerr with a single lightweight interface. You browse movies, shows and music like a streaming service, request titles or seasons, and it searches your indexers, picks the best release according to your rules, sends it to your download client (qBittorrent, SABnzbd, Transmission, etc.) and organises everything into your library. It also handles subtitles, shows an upcoming calendar, and works with existing media servers such as Plex or Jellyfin. The Docker image is only about 15 MB, idles around 140 MB of RAM even with large libraries, and runs on amd64, arm64 and armv7 with one login and one port. I have recently been using HolyArrs on my UGREEN NAS and it has made managing my media library much simpler by bringing everything into one clean interface. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install HolyArrs on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Dockhand.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest HolyArrs v1.1.2 release.

💡Note: Check out my guide on how to Install HolyArrs on Your Synology NAS.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

Install Dockhand using my step by step guide. If you already have Dockhand installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. ⚠️Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Dockhand version.

• STEP 3

⚠️Mandatory: Add Read & Write Permissions to the Docker Folder.

• STEP 4

Go to Files and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it holyarrs. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 5

Open your browser and type in http://ugreen-ip-address:3866 to connect to your Dockhand container. On the left sidebar, click Stacks then + Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 6

In the Stack name field, type in holyarrs. ⚠️Warning: Type in the name in lowercase letters. The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Dockhand Compose Stack then click Create & Start.

services:
  holyarrs:
    image: holyarrs/holyarrs:latest
    container_name: Holyarrs
    environment:
       PUID: 999
       PGID: 10
       TZ: Europe/Bucharest
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/holyarrs:/config:rw
      - /volume1/downloads:/downloads:rw
      - /volume1/movie:/movie:rw
      - /volume1/tv:/tv:rw
      - /volume1/music:/music:rw
    ports:
      - 6262:6262
    restart: on-failure:5

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Stack editor area below, change the value numbers for PUID and PGID with your own values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.)
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Stack editor area below, change the value for TZ. (Select your current Time Zone from this list.)
Note: Before pasting the code into the Stack editor below, replace only the host paths (the part before the colon) with your own folder locations for config, downloads, movies, TV shows, and music. Do not change anything after the colon (for example, keep :/downloads:rw, :/movie:rw, :/tv:rw, and :/music:rw exactly as they are). These are the internal paths the container uses and must stay the same.

• STEP 7

If everything goes right, you will see the following message at the bottom right of your screen: “Created stack “holyarrs”“.

• STEP 8

On the left sidebar, click Containers. Identify your Holyarrs container then click on ports 6262:6262. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 9

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

• STEP 10

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://ugreen-ip-address:6262 Switch the theme to Dark. Change the language. Click Password. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 11

Add your own details then click Create Account. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 12

You can bring your own apps like Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Seer etc. but this is not mandatory. You can Start fresh. Follow the instructions in the image below. ⚠️Note: “Bring my apps” imports your library (titles, folders, settings, etc.) from Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and the others. It only reads them. Your existing Arrs and media files stay untouched. You can keep the Arrs running alongside HolyArrs for as long as you want while you test it. Once you’re happy with HolyArrs, you can stop and remove the Arrs. HolyArrs is designed as a full replacement for that.

• STEP 13

If you choose to bring your apps, you will need to add their own Address and API keys. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 14

In the field, type in /movies for movies /tv for tv and /music for music then click Continue. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 15

You can select your favorite app for download or Skip for now to add it later. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 15

Add your link from Prowlarr or Jackett or Skip for now to add it later. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 17

Click Open Home. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 18
