Share your compose and full container logs

I’m new to docker, so I will try to find the container logs. In the meantime, here is the compose. I made a user named containeruser, and ran everything as that user, not root.

name: compose
services:
 sonarr:
    container_name: sonarr
    environment:
      PGID: "1000"
      PUID: "1000"

Where ever you’ve put int localhost for your indexer or download client, that’s not going to work. It needs to be your host ip (or the container name of it if using docker networking).

Please feel free to correct me as I’ve followed a guide I found.

I’m using Prowler, Deluge, Syncthing and Sabnzbd on a seedbox. I’m trying to connect a separate media server that hosts Sonarr, Plex, and Syncthing. I connected to Prowler, and from there and added Sonarr credentials, as per Prowlers’ instructions. It loaded the Indexers to Sonarr.

Sonarr can see my storage, matches the shows, ask Prowler for new files, but at the last step of sending these files to Sabnzbd, I’m getting connection refused (localhost:11935).

I’ve cleared Sonarr’s log and ran it on Tracker 2024 s01e10. I’m still looking for the requested ‘full container logs’. I do have Portainer up, where would I find the logs that would be more helpful?

I checked with Sonarr > Settings > Download Client .
Host: Seedbox url
Port: 5989
SSL: Off
URL Base: sabnzbd
API: sabnzbd> General > Security > API ( not nzb key )
username : copied and pasted
password : copied and pasted

Test, functional.
Tried to get the same show. Same error. Made a new SABNZBD api. Connection test worked. Tired to get the same show. Did not work. This is not a local machine.

You have localhost:11935 somewhere in your setup that’s telling your sonarr container to use it.

8

I would like to note, we do not support or recommend deploying our containers with portainer as it causes issues for users and makes troubleshooting more difficult.

Thank you for responding.

I installed it separately, not with it. Thought it would make finding the error easier.

I have uninstalled. Rebooted docker. Then reboot the entire server.

Error remains. Where are these logs you would like me to post?

10

the container readme provides instructions on how to get the container logs. That said, j0nny already told you the issue, somewhere you configured your app to try to access localhost:11935 which will not work in a container.

It’s a confusing error message. I had the same, and it was due to the “base URL override” in Jackett. I see you use Prowlarr, but it probably has a similar reasoning – that is to say, it’s not necessarily anything you have wrong in Sonarr, but your indexer is giving responses that your Sonarr isn’t able to resolve.

You just helped me solve my problem and it’s greatly appreciated. After running into a similar issue, I came to the conclusion that Prowlarr was not running correctly. I run all my docker instances through a VPN using Gluetun. I had forgotten to select Gluetun for networking when restarting it on my last update.
