Sonarr is a popular open source PVR and library manager for TV series. It keeps a watchlist of the shows you follow, works out which episodes are missing or could be upgraded to a better quality, searches your configured indexers, hands the results to your download client, and then renames and files everything into a tidy, consistently organised library. A clean web interface gives you a calendar of upcoming episodes, a full view of your series and their per season status, quality profiles, and a rich activity and history view, while a documented version 3 REST API lets you automate any of it.
This image delivers Sonarr fully installed and running so a working library manager is operational within minutes of launch, with no package installation, no runtime version wrangling and no service configuration required. Sonarr is installed from the official self contained build, which is verified against the checksum the project publishes before it is unpacked, and it runs as a dedicated unprivileged system user under systemd with automatic restarts, clean logging and a hardened service sandbox. The current release available is Sonarr 4.0.19.2979.
Unlike a bare deployment, this image is secure by default. Sonarr normally starts with authentication switched off, which means anyone who can reach it gets full control of the application and its API key. This image enforces authentication instead, and generates a unique administrator password and a unique API key on each instance's first boot. The password is handed to Sonarr's own account creation path so it is stored only as a salted, heavily iterated one way hash, and the plain values are placed in a root only file for the administrator to read. Nothing usable is baked into the image, so no two deployments ever share a credential.
All application state lives under a single directory, with the series library and download folders laid out and owned correctly from the start. An unauthenticated health endpoint is provided for load balancer probes, so monitoring needs no credential even though the interface and API do. Automatic updates are turned off so the running system never silently drifts from the published image, and upgrades arrive as a new cloudimg image version. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (for the Ubuntu 24.04 variant the user is ubuntu). Retrieve the generated admin credentials with: sudo cat /root/sonarr-credentials.txt. Open the Sonarr web UI in a browser at http://<instance-public-ip>:8989/ and sign in with the generated administrator username and password. The REST API authenticates with the generated API key via the X-Api-Key header, for example: curl -H "X-Api-Key: <key>" http://<instance-public-ip>:8989/api/v3/system/status. An unauthenticated health endpoint is available at http://<instance-public-ip>:8989/ping for load-balancer and uptime checks. All application state lives under /var/lib/sonarr, with the series library and download folders at /var/lib/sonarr/tv and /var/lib/sonarr/downloads. The instance security group opens ports 22 (SSH) and 8989 (Sonarr web UI and API). The service runs under systemd: systemctl status sonarr.
