Sabnzbd makes Usenet as simple and streamlined as possible by automating everything we can. All you have to do is add an .nzb. SABnzbd takes over from there, where it will be automatically downloaded, verified, repaired, extracted and filed away with zero human interaction.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

ArchitectureAvailableTag
x86-64✅amd64-<version tag>
arm64✅arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf❌

Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.

TagAvailableDescription
latest✅Stable SABnzbd releases
unstable✅Pre-releases from the develop branch
nightly✅Latest commits from the develop branch

Application Setup

Initial setup is done via http://<your-ip>:8080.

See the SABnzbd wiki for more information.

Download folders

We have set /incomplete-downloads and /downloads as optional paths, this is because it is the easiest way to get started. While easy to use, it has some drawbacks. Mainly losing the ability for atomic moves (TL;DR instant file moves, rather than copy+delete) of files while processing content.

Use the optional paths if you don't understand, or don't want atomic moves. Whichever paths you choose to use, make sure to set the Completed Download Folder and the Temporary Download Folder in the SABnzbd gui settings, under Folders.

The folks over at servarr.com wrote a good write-up on how to get started with this.

Read-Only Operation

This image can be run with a read-only container filesystem. For details please read the docs.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

---
services:
  sabnzbd:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest
    container_name: sabnzbd
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
    volumes:
      - /path/to/sabnzbd/config:/config
      - /path/to/downloads:/downloads #optional
      - /path/to/incomplete/downloads:/incomplete-downloads #optional
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=sabnzbd \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /path/to/sabnzbd/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads `#optional` \
  -v /path/to/incomplete/downloads:/incomplete-downloads `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest

Parameters

Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

ParameterFunction
-p 8080HTTP port for the WebUI.
-e PUID=1000for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Etc/UTCspecify a timezone to use, see this list.
-v /configPersistent config files
-v /downloadsLocal path for finished downloads.
-v /incomplete-downloadsLocal path for incomplete-downloads.
--read-only=trueRun container with a read-only filesystem. Please read the docs.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable

Will set the environment variable MYVAR based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id your_user as below:

id your_user

Example output:

uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

Via Docker Run

Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)

[!TIP] We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-sabnzbd.git
cd docker-sabnzbd
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware and vice versa using lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static

docker run --rm --privileged lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
