[FEAT] Migration to Seerr

[snowwolf3388]

Is this a new feature request?

• I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

Is there a plan to release a linuxserver/seerr image now that the seerr app is released in v3.0?

Reason for change

The new unified seerr app is released and overseerr will not be maintained any more. I think we all like the stability and common features of the linuxserver versions. Also, I'd be curious if there are any gotchas in the initial migration when coming from linuxserver version instead of their default image.

Proposed code change

point underlying image to the new seerr-team/seerr image.

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.

I also came here wondering about this. Is this container going to deprecated or updated?

Thanks for all your great containers!

I'm also interested if you plan to migrate to the new seerr.

[V-ed]

For anyone wondering about migration from this linuxserver image back to the official image (as suggested by the deprecation notice sent above), the migration was essentially seamless (other than than my own user errors haha) by following seerr's own migration guide.

In other words, I had no issues migrating from linuxserver to official by running with the docker compose stack.

Somethings to watch out for when going through the official migration doc :

1. the volumes path in linuxserver image is /config, while in the official image, it is /app/config
2. the notice about the container running with the user of PID 1000 also applies here, I had permissions issues until I ran essentially the suggested command docker run --rm -v /path/to/appdata/config:/data alpine chown -R 1000:1000 /data
3. the TZ env var does not work anymore, haven't looked into fixing that as it isn't too big of a deal (essentially only TZ issue is in the docker logs, seerr's webui still display user timezones)
4. linuxserver compose stack did not have the healthcheck, while the official one does - I added it myself for more checks, why not, but optional

But yeah, essentially seamless, but got caught off guards with 1..

Compose stack that I now run

  seerr:
    image: ghcr.io/seerr-team/seerr:latest
    container_name: seerr
    init: true
    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID:-1000}
      - PGID=${PGID:-100}
      - TZ=Canada/Eastern
      - PORT=5055 #optional
    ports:
      - 5055:5055
    volumes:
      - ${CONFIG_FLD}/seerr:/app/config
    healthcheck:
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:5055/api/v1/status || exit 1
      start_period: 20s
      timeout: 3s
      interval: 15s
      retries: 3
    labels:
      - com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
    restart: unless-stopped

The PUID, PGID and TZ are no longer being respected, but ah well

I also followed the migration guide for Seerr and my migration was even easier than V-ed.
I back up first.

I am using unraid.
Stopped my overseerr instance.
Found the official docker on unraids app centre.
Installed with my docker vlan and my static IP address instead of bridged.
Changed the config and logs folder to my current overseerr location.
Proceeded with install.
Everything worked, all settings migrated automatically.

I did the same. All is working for me now as well.

For anyone seeing certificate issues for radarr/sonarr when using their own certificate authority..
Overseer used os certificates installed to /etc/ssl/certs/, but Seer does not. I build my own image which I had to update for seer:

FROM ghcr.io/seerr-team/seerr:latest

COPY internal-ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/internal-ca.crt

USER root

RUN apk update; \
        apk add --no-cache ca-certificates; \
        update-ca-certificates -v; \

USER 1000:1000

Then in my docker-compose for seer, I also have to set the environment NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.

All works now.

I switched in the mean time using the migration guide.

Brought down my existing container
docker compose down

I used the docker compose example and created a new docker-compose.yml

  seerr:
    image: ghcr.io/seerr-team/seerr:latest
    init: true
    container_name: seerr
    environment:
      - LOG_LEVEL=debug
      - TZ=Pacific/Auckland
      - PORT=5055 #optional
    ports:
      - 5055:5055
    networks:
      - networkname
    volumes:
      - ./config:/app/config
    healthcheck:
      test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:5055/api/v1/status || exit 1
      start_period: 20s
      timeout: 3s
      interval: 15s
      retries: 3
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  networkname:
    external: true

Updated the perms on the config directory
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 config

And then brought up the new container
docker compose up -d
