Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr Unreachable Bug
Posted by notrike
Having a problem with my ARR stack saying its not reachable, here is what the AI is suggesting: Same result — third restart in a row, containers say "healthy," but Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr are completely unreachable from the dashboard's side. That's not a stall issue anymore, that's the actual bug. A healthy container that the dashboard can't talk to means the restart isn't the fix — something in the API/network wiring is broken, and repeating the restart won't change that. I'm not going to suggest a 4th restart — it's not working and I don't want to waste your time going in circles. Click Share to demox on this one. This needs Tom to look at why the arr APIs are unreachable right after container health comes back green — that's inconsistent state a restart can't fix, and it's also why I can't see your actual download queue to diagnose the stall itself.

Your AI is right—this is a real issue, not a restart loop. Containers reporting healthy while their APIs are unreachable is a network/wiring inconsistency that restart can't fix. I'm flagging this for Tom to dig into why the ARR stack's API endpoints aren't reachable after container health comes back green. Hang tight while we investigate—definitely worth fixing.

You're right to chase this, and I'm sorry it sat this long without a reply. Your AI had the shape of it. The arr apps share the VPN container's network, so when that container is recreated they can start before the tunnel is actually live — each one reports healthy while having no working network. That is exactly the healthy-but-unreachable state you're seeing. Two fixes have shipped since you posted: one waits for the tunnel and then reconnects those apps, and a later one fixed that repair step being skipped silently. sudo sparkbox upgrade That's upgrade, not update — update only refreshes app images and cannot move you onto a newer release, which is likely why the updates you saw changed nothing. Still unreachable after that? Run sudo sparkbox restart media and tell me what sudo sparkbox status shows. — Chris
