Whisparr

Setting it up

On Whisparr’s card, enter its URL - for example http://whisparr:6969 - and its API key, from Whisparr’s Settings > General > Security > API Key. Click Test connection.

Whisparr v2 and v3 are both supported. To back up both, add the second with Add another Whisparr. Like Radarr and Sonarr, if it asks every address to log in, it needs its login on the card or Disabled for Local Addresses - see the Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr note. Whisparr’s own guide: How do I Backup/Restore Whisparr?

Good to know

  • v3 restores: Whisparr v3’s own restore skips the database in its backups (they hold whisparr3.db, but it only accepts whisparr.db) and still reports success. Backuparr renames the file when it uploads the backup, so the database is restored too.
  • hotio image: after Whisparr restarts, such as after a restore, the container logs address already in use every few seconds. Whisparr keeps working; restart the container to stop it.
