Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions, including the security model for host vs. container privileges.

Deployment

Podman AppJail

Database Where the app keeps its data. The default needs nothing else running.

seerr:latest — data in /path/to/containers/seerr

A file in the app's config folder. Right for one person, nothing extra to run.

1. Save as .env and fill in what is empty:

2. Save as compose.yaml:

name: seerr

services:
  seerr:
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/seerr:latest
    container_name: seerr
    restart: unless-stopped

    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
      - DB_TYPE=${DB_TYPE:-sqlite}
      - DB_HOST=${DB_HOST:-}
      - DB_PORT=${DB_PORT:-5432}
      - DB_USER=${DB_USER:-}
      - DB_PASS=${DB_PASS:-}
      - DB_NAME=${DB_NAME:-}

    volumes:
      - /path/to/containers/seerr:/config

    ports:
      - 5055:5055

Then run podman-compose up -d.

seerr:latest · postgres:17 — data in /path/to/containers/seerr, /containers/seerr/postgres

One more container, its data in its own folder. For a household, or an app that wants it.

1. Save as .env and fill in what is empty:

# Database: PostgreSQL
DB_TYPE=postgres
DB_HOST=postgres
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=seerr
DB_PASS=  # set one
DB_NAME=seerr
DATABASE_LOCATION=/containers/seerr/postgres

2. Save as compose.yaml:

name: seerr

services:
  seerr:
    depends_on: [postgres]
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/seerr:latest
    container_name: seerr
    restart: unless-stopped

    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
      - DB_TYPE=${DB_TYPE:-sqlite}
      - DB_HOST=${DB_HOST:-}
      - DB_PORT=${DB_PORT:-5432}
      - DB_USER=${DB_USER:-}
      - DB_PASS=${DB_PASS:-}
      - DB_NAME=${DB_NAME:-}

    volumes:
      - /path/to/containers/seerr:/config

    ports:
      - 5055:5055
  postgres:
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/postgres:17
    restart: always
    annotations:
      org.freebsd.jail.allow.sysvipc: "true"
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=${DB_USER}
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${DB_PASS}
      - POSTGRES_DB=${DB_NAME}
    volumes:
      - "${DATABASE_LOCATION}:/var/lib/postgresql/data"

Then run podman-compose up -d.

seerr:latest · your own database — data in /path/to/containers/seerr

A database you already run, here or on another machine. Nothing extra runs; you give the address and the account.

1. Save as .env and fill in Kind, Host, Port, User, Password, Database:

# Database: Your own
DB_TYPE=  # Kind: postgres
DB_HOST=  # Host
DB_PORT=  # Port
DB_USER=  # User
DB_PASS=  # Password
DB_NAME=  # Database

2. Save as compose.yaml:

name: seerr

services:
  seerr:
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/seerr:latest
    container_name: seerr
    restart: unless-stopped

    environment:
