How to install new apps in modules

Posted by currentlylive

Noticed the media module has a couple of new apps included from when I installed it, just curious how to properly go about installing this additional included apps?

Good question! You don't need the command line for this — SparkBox handles it from the dashboard. Open your dashboard and you'll see every app as its own tile. Find the one you want to add, click it, and hit Enable — SparkBox installs it and wires it into the rest of your media apps automatically. Give it a minute and the tile goes live. If you tell me which app you're trying to add, I'll point you at the exact spot to click.

I’d like to add Lidarr to try out, and had seen it was added to the media stack. So that prompted this question.

Good timing — Lidarr ships inside the media stack, but it's an optional extra and the one-click toggle for it isn't in the dashboard yet (that's on us — I've flagged it to Tom Spark to wire up). There's a clean one-line way to switch it on that sticks through updates, though. Open /opt/sparkbox/.env and add this line: COMPOSEPROFILES=lidarr Then run sudo sparkbox up. Give it a minute and Lidarr comes up on port 8686 — open it from your dashboard, or http://your-box-ip:8686. (If you've already switched on another optional app this same way, just add lidarr to that existing line with a comma.) Shout if it doesn't appear and I'll dig in.
