Excludarr is a CLI that interacts with Radarr and Sonarr instances. It completely manages you library in Sonarr and Radarr to only consist out of movies and series that are not present on any of the configured streaming providers. Excludarr can also re monitor movies and series if it is not available anymore on any of the configured streaming providers. You can also configure to delete the already downloaded files of the excluded entry to keep your storage happy! 🎉
- Python 3.6 or Docker
- If you have Sonarr: Sonarr V3 (version 2 is not working!)
- If you have Radarr: Radarr V3
Installation of excludarr can be done using pip.
pip install excludarrTo configure the application make sure that one of the following files exists:
/etc/excludarr/excludarr.yml
~/.config/excludarr/excludarr.yml
~/.excludarr/config/excludarr.yml
~/.excludarr.yml
./.excludarr.ymlThe application will read those configuration files in that order. So ./.excludarr.yml will overwrite /etc/excludarr/excludarr.yml. For a full list of options and their description see excludarr-example.yml in this repository.
NOTE: To get a full list of available providers in your country, execute
excludarr providers listand copy the full name of the provider in your configuration.
The radarr subcommands manages the library in your configured Radarr instance. Check excludarr radarr --help for a full list of options.
To delete or disable monitoring of the movies in Radarr you can execute the excludarr radarr exclude command. You can determine to either delete the movie or change the status to not monitored. You can alo configure if you want to delete the associated files and to add an import exclusion to prevent future importing of the movie.
By default no files are being deleted, you have to set the -d flag. To make the command non-interactive you can pass the -y flag to auto accept the confirmation question. To show the progress of the process you can pass the --progress flag to get a nice progress bar! Read the help page of the command carefully to adjust the command to your needs.

To re enable monitoring of not-monitored movies in Radarr that are not present anymore on any of the streaming providers, you can execute excludarr radarr re-add. This will lookup all movies that are not monitored anymore in Radarr and check if they are still available on the configured streaming providers. If there is no match, the status of the movie will change to monitored. This is handy if you remove a streaming provider from the configuration, or if the movie is being deleted from a streaming provider.

The sonarr subcommands manages the library in your configured Sonarr instance. Check excludarr sonarr --help for a full list of options.
To delete or disable monitoring of the series in Sonarr you can execute the excludarr sonarr exclude command. You can determine to either delete the serie or change the status to not monitored. You can alo configure if you want to delete the associated files. Excludarr will exclude the whole serie, the season(s) or individually episodes.
If you use the delete action (excludarr sonarr exclude -a delete) it will only delete the serie if the serie is ended and all seasons are streaming on a configured streaming service. A few examples with Netflix as a streaming provider.
- Serie A has a total of 5 seasons and has ended. If all 5 seasons are found on Netflix it will delete the serie from Sonarr.
- Serie B has a total of 4 seasons and it still continueing (season 5 will be released next year). If all 4 seasons are found on Netflix it will disable the monitoring of all 4 seasons, but it will not delete the whole serie from Sonarr.
- Serie C has a total of 6 seasons and has ended. If only 5 seasons are found on Netflix, Excludarr will disable monitoring of the 5 seasons and will not delete the serie from Sonarr.
By default no files are being deleted, you have to set the -d flag. To make the command non-interactive you can pass the -y flag to auto accept the confirmation question.

Are you sure you want to re monitor the listed series? [y/n] (n): y
Succesfully changed the status of the series listed in Sonarr to monitored!NOTE: If you want to exclude any of the series listed in the table, just copy the title and paste it in your configuration file under
sonarr -> excludes.
To use this setup using Docker, you can use the haijeploeg/excludarr container. You can use the following environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GENERAL_FAST_SEARCH | true | Enable or disable fast search, can be true or false. |
| GENERAL_LOCALE | en_US | The locale to use, can also be a two letter country code. |
| GENERAL_PROVIDERS | Netflix | Comma seperated list of providers. e.g. GENERAL_PROVIDERS=netflix, amazon prime video. |
| TMDB_API_KEY | - | Your TMDB API key. This setting is optional and only used in fallback scenario's. |
| RADARR_URL | http://localhost:7878 | The Radarr URL. |
| RADARR_API_KEY | secret | Your Radarr API Key. |
| RADARR_VERIFY_SSL | false | To enable SSL verify, can be true or false. |
| RADARR_EXCLUDE | - | Comma seperated list of movies to exclude in the process of Excludarr, e.g. RADARR_EXCLUDE=The Matrix, F9. |
| SONARR_URL | http://localhost:8989 | The Sonarr URL. |
| SONARR_API_KEY | secret | Your Sonarr API Key. |
| SONARR_VERIFY_SSL | false | To enable SSL verify, can be true or false. |
| SONARR_EXCLUDE | - | Comma seperated list of series to exclude in Excludarr, e.g. SONARR_EXCLUDE=Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones. |
| CRON_MODE | false | Wether to run the docker container using cron. This is useful for docker-compose. |
You can put those variables in a env file (e.g. excludarr.env) and use it in a command (recommended way). Look the docker_example.env for an example. If you have set your variables properly, you can execute excludarr in docker by just adding the command and paramaters at the end of the docker command. Example:
docker run -it --rm --env-file excludarr.env haijeploeg/excludarr:latest radarr exclude -a delete -d -e --progress
docker run -it --rm --env-file excludarr.env haijeploeg/excludarr:latest sonarr exclude -a not-monitoredExcludarr can run in cron mode using docker-compose. Using this method the container keeps running and wakes up when you want to run a scheduled command. To use this method you can create a crontab file and mount it to /etc/excludarr/crontab in the container. Make sure you run the command unattended (with the -y flag!)
$ cat crontab
# minute hour day month weekday command
0 1 * * * excludarr sonarr exclude -a delete -d -e -y
0 2 * * * excludarr radarr exclude -a delete -d -e -yYour docker-compose file can look like this. Make sure you set the CRON_MODE environment setting!
$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: "3"
services:
excludarr:
image: haijeploeg/excludarr
container_name: excludarr
environment:
- GENERAL_FAST_SEARCH=true
- GENERAL_LOCALE=en_NL
- GENERAL_PROVIDERS=netflix, amazon prime video
- RADARR_URL=http://radarr.example.com:7878
- RADARR_API_KEY=secret
- RADARR_VERIFY_SSL=false
- SONARR_URL=http://sonarr.example.com:8989
- SONARR_API_KEY=secret
- SONARR_VERIFY_SSL=false
- SONARR_EXCLUDE="Queen of the South, Breaking Bad"
- CRON_MODE=true
volumes:
- ./crontab:/etc/excludarr/crontab
restart: unless-stoppedWith the above configuration the container will execute excludarr sonarr exclude -a delete -d -e -y every day at 01:00 and excludarr radarr exclude -a delete -d -e -y every day at 02:00.
Below are some frequently asked questions. Please look if your question is listed below before you submit an issue.
Q: I used the --legacy flag before, where can I find it in excludarr v1.0.0?
A: Excludarr will now automatically fall back to the legacy delete option if a bulk delete is not possible.
Q: Where is the check command?
A: The check command has been replaced by re-add.
Q: When excluding series there are no seasons or episodes displayed, what will excludarr do?
A: When there are no seasons and episodes displayed this means that excludarr will disable monitoring of the serie if the serie is not ended yet. When a serie is ended and the action was delete, Excludarr will delete the whole serie. When a serie is ended and the action is not-monitored, Excludarr will disable monitoring of the whole serie.
Q: Can I also exclude movies and series from being processed by Excludarr?
A: Yes, by using the exclude setting in the configuration file. You can set the exclude setting under the radarr and sonarr configuration section. You can see the example excludarr-example.yml file in this repo.
Q: How can I know what providers I can use in the configuration file?
A: You can list all the available providers for your specific locale using the excludarr providers list command. This should give you a list of all the available providers. Simply copy the full name and insert it in the configuration file.
Q: Does excludarr still support Sonarr V2?
A: No, Sonarr V2 is EOL (End Of Life) and therefor not supported by Excludarr. Please upgrade to Sonarr V3 by reading the upgrade guide
