Configuration Reference¶

All configuration lives in ~/.config/media-postprocessor/api-keys.conf.

Every key can also be set as an environment variable — env vars take precedence over the config file.

Sonarr¶

SONARR_URL=http://your-sonarr-host:8989/sonarr
SONARR_API_KEY=your-sonarr-api-key

Find your API key in Sonarr under Settings → General → Security → API Key.

Radarr¶

RADARR_URL=http://your-radarr-host:7878/radarr
RADARR_API_KEY=your-radarr-api-key

Find your API key in Radarr under Settings → General → Security → API Key.

Encode settings¶

# Transcoder to use: ffmpeg (default) or handbrake
DISCARR_TRANSCODER=ffmpeg

# ffmpeg encode preset (used when DISCARR_TRANSCODER=ffmpeg)
# Default produces a reasonable HEVC/H.265 encode at CRF 22
FFMPEG_ARGS=-c:v libx265 -crf 22 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 192k

# HandBrake preset name (used when DISCARR_TRANSCODER=handbrake)
HANDBRAKE_PRESET=H.265 MKV 1080p30

SSH transcode worker¶

When set, Discarr sends encode jobs to a remote host over SSH instead of running them locally.

SSH_TRANSCODE_HOST=encode-box
SSH_TRANSCODE_USER=mediauser
SSH_TRANSCODE_MEDIA_ROOT=/media
# Optional: override SSH key path (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
SSH_TRANSCODE_KEY=~/.ssh/id_ed25519

See SSH Transcode Workers for setup instructions.
