Sonarr

Requires ocijail with annotation support (≥ 0.6.0). This image needs the jail permission allow.mlock, applied via OCI annotations. FreeBSD quarterly ships ocijail 0.4.0, which has no annotation support — the container starts but the permission is silently dropped, so the app can crash or misbehave. Point your pkg repos at the latest branch (ocijail ≥ 0.6.0) and run with the annotation flag shown below. See the ocijail guide on daemonless.io.

Version tags#

Tag	Description	Best for
`latest`	Upstream binary, built from the official release	Most users — recommended
`develop` / `nightly`	Sonarr's pre-release channel (Sonarr has no separate nightly branch, so both tags point at the same build). One-way DB migrations — back up `/config` before switching back to release.	Alternative build
`pkg`	FreeBSD Quarterly, stable tested packages	Production stability
`pkg-latest`	FreeBSD Latest, rolling package updates	Staying current

Implementation details#

Architectures: amd64
User: bsd (UID/GID set via PUID/PGID). Defaults to 1000:1000.
Base: Built on ghcr.io/daemonless/base (FreeBSD 15.1).
mlock: Requires --annotation 'org.freebsd.jail.allow.mlock=true' (ocijail 0.5.0+).

Also runs Radarr, Lidarr, and Prowlarr

The same allow.mlock pattern covers every .NET-based *arr app in the fleet.
