Docker Setup

Aurral runs in Docker. It needs a /config mount for app data.

Aurral also needs the same media root that Lidarr uses. Most installations use /data.

Minimal compose file

services:
  aurral:
    image: ghcr.io/lklynet/aurral:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3001:3001"
    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID:-1000}
      - PGID=${PGID:-1000}
    volumes:
      - /data:/data
      - ./config:/config

Point /data:/data at the host path that Lidarr mounts. ./config holds Aurral’s database, settings, and encrypted secrets.

Start Aurral

docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3001.
Create your admin account.
Connect Lidarr.

What the mounts do

Mount	Container path	Purpose
Lidarr media root	`/data`	Same path view as Lidarr for the library and downloads
Host config dir	`/config`	Aurral database, settings, users, and jobs

Set the downloads path in Settings > Download Clients > Downloads Folder > Path. For example, use /data/downloads/aurral.

The downloads path must be under the media mount.

Full stack

Use docker-compose.example.yml for a stack with Lidarr, slskd, and Navidrome.

Match Lidarr’s media mount. See Match Lidarr for details and Servarr links.
