Sonarr WebUI refusing to connect

Posted by janaroberts

Quick summary for whoever picks it up over there: Sonarr container is healthy, not crash-looping, gluetun's VPN tunnel is up and its firewall allows 8989 through same as Radarr's 7878 — but Sonarr's WebUI still flat-out refuses the connection on 8989 from the LAN (tried normal browser + incognito, same result) while Radarr works fine on the identical network stack. Already tried a gluetun restart, didn't fix it. Next useful data point if anyone wants to dig further: a curl http://localhost:8989 from the SparkBox host itself, to isolate host-level Docker publish vs. LAN/router routing.

Nothing wrong on your end here. When gluetun's VPN restarts by itself, one of the apps riding on it can get left talking to the old tunnel instead of the new one — Radarr happened to survive that swap, Sonarr didn't. A plain gluetun restart won't fix that, but a full media restart will: SSH in and run sudo sparkbox restart media, give it a couple minutes to come back up, then reload the Sonarr page. Your curl http://localhost:8989 idea is a good check too, run it after the restart. Still refusing after that? Grab docker logs sb-sonarr --tail 50 and we'll dig further.
