Unpackerr
Unpacks what the *arr apps leave sitting
Watches Radarr, Sonarr and the rest for downloads that arrived as RAR or multi-part archives, extracts them so the import can proceed, and deletes the extracted copy once the app has taken the file. Without it those downloads sit in the queue as 'Completed' forever.

unpackerrInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install unpackerrWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Unpackerr | :5656 | No account. The page is a status view; everything is configured from Settings here. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- It needs an API key per app — Radarr and Sonarr both show theirs under Settings → General
- Use the container names for the URLs: http://radarr:7878, http://sonarr:8989. localhost here is this container
- It only touches archives. If an import is stuck on something that is already a video file, the problem is elsewhere — usually permissions or a path the app cannot see
