Unpackerr

What it is

Unpackerr watches download clients (like SABnzbd, qBittorrent, NZBGet, etc.) and automatically extracts compressed files after download.

Why I use it

To automate unpacking of archives (RAR, ZIP) that come from Usenet/torrent downloads, so Radarr/Sonarr can import them cleanly into the media library.

How it integrates

• Monitors configured download clients through their APIs.
• Extracts completed downloads in /data.
• Keeps a /config folder for settings and logs.

Key config

• PUID/PGID → match host user/group for permissions.
• TZ → timezone setting for logs/schedules.
• UMASK=002 → controls default file permissions.

Security

• Runs with no-new-privileges for hardening.
• Only has access to the directories you explicitly mount (/data and /config).

Quick start

1. Copy .env.example → .env and set values (UID/GID, timezone, paths).
2. Launch:

   docker compose up -d
