Getting started

Docs track latest

These pages describe the latest NzbDAV release. Features and settings marked with a since 0.8.0 pill (or similar) need at least that version — check your image tag or Settings → About before following a new workflow.

Choose a path based on where you are:

  • Install with Docker

    Persistent Compose deploy, health checks, reverse-proxy notes.

    Docker

  • Migrate from another build

    Official path from nzbdav-dev v0.6.4, plus community forks (Pukabyte, NzbDavEx).

    Migration

  • First run

    Admin account, Usenet provider, WebDAV credentials, import strategy.

    First run

  • Connect *Arr

    Add NzbDAV as a SABnzbd download client in Sonarr and Radarr.

    Connect Radarr/Sonarr

  • Understand the flow

    How queue → mount → stream works with media servers.

    Architecture

Prerequisites

  1. Usenet provider — NNTP host, credentials, and connection allowance.
  2. Indexers (optional for first play) — Newznab-compatible sources for search and *Arr.
  3. Docker — Engine + Compose v2. Symlink imports also need Linux FUSE (/dev/fuse).

Setup and hosting options

Option Who it’s for Start here
Self-hosted Docker You run Compose (or Unraid/etc.) and wire *Arr / rclone yourself Docker
DUMB (Debrid Unlimited Media Bridge) You want NzbDAV as a fully supported core module with guided onboarding and Arr wiring NzbDAV on dumbarr.com

DUMB treats NzbDAV as a first-class Usenet WebDAV / SABnzbd-compatible workflow service (core_service: nzbdav), including automatic Arr download-client and symlink-path integration when you select it during onboarding. Prefer DUMB’s own docs for stack-specific paths and ports; use this site for NzbDAV Settings, features, and troubleshooting.
