Ansible Role: Prowlarr

Install and configure Prowlarr - a torrent indexer manager for Usenet and torrents. The role runs the LinuxServer.io Prowlarr image as a Docker container.

Dependencies

• docker role (installs Docker; run before this role by playbook.yaml, fetched via roles/requirements.yml).

Variables

This role has no defaults/main.yaml. The following variables are used by the tasks and must be set in the inventory or group_vars.

Variable	Required	Default	Description
prowlarr_puid	Yes	none	User ID that owns /mnt/prowlarr and is passed as PUID
prowlarr_guid	Yes	none	Group ID that owns /mnt/prowlarr and is passed as PGID
timezone	Yes	none	Global timezone, passed as TZ to the container

Example

prowlarr_puid: "1000"
prowlarr_guid: "1000"
timezone: "Europe/Amsterdam"

Usage

Run the role through Semaphore using playbook.yaml. The playbook first runs ansible-galaxy install -f -r roles/requirements.yml on localhost, then executes the docker and prowlarr roles.

Operational notes

• Config is stored in /mnt/prowlarr (mounted at /config in the container).
• Container prowlarr publishes the web interface on port 9696/tcp; the image tag is pinned in the task.
• After the container is started the role prunes unused Docker containers, images, networks and volumes.
