TRMNL Servarr Dashboard

A beautiful dashboard for your Servarr media stack on TRMNL e-ink displays. Monitor download queues, upcoming releases, recently added content, and library statistics from Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, or Prowlarr.

Features

• Monitor download queues with progress bars
• View upcoming releases (calendar)
• See recently added media
• Library statistics with icons
• Health status monitoring
• Support for all Servarr apps (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Prowlarr)
• Multiple display modes (Dashboard, Calendar Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• Responsive layouts for all TRMNL screen configurations

Quick Start

1. Install the Plugin from TRMNL

1. Go to your TRMNL Dashboard
2. Navigate to Plugin Directory
3. Search for "Servarr Dashboard"
4. Click Add to My Plugins
5. Copy the Webhook URL from the plugin settings

2. Set Up the Collector

The collector fetches data from your Servarr apps and sends it to TRMNL. Run it with Docker:

# Create a directory for the collector
mkdir trmnl-servarr && cd trmnl-servarr

# Download the required files
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pythcon/trmnl-plugin-servarr/master/collector/docker-compose.yml
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pythcon/trmnl-plugin-servarr/master/collector/config.example.yaml

# Create your config from the example
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml

3. Configure Your Servarr Instances

Edit config.yaml with your Servarr details:

# Global settings
interval: 900              # Collection interval in seconds (900 = 15 minutes)
timezone: America/New_York # Your timezone (for timestamp display)

# Instance definitions
instances:
  - name: sonarr
    url: http://localhost:8989          # Your Sonarr URL
    api_key: your-sonarr-api-key        # Settings > General > API Key
    webhook: https://usetrmnl.com/api/custom_plugins/your-webhook-id

Finding your API Key: In any Servarr app, go to Settings > General > Security > API Key

4. Start the Collector

docker compose up -d

That's it! The collector will now send data to your TRMNL device every 15 minutes.

Multiple Servarr Instances

Add multiple instances to your config.yaml:

interval: 900
timezone: America/New_York

instances:
  # Each instance needs its own webhook URL from a separate plugin install
  - name: sonarr
    url: http://localhost:8989
    api_key: your-sonarr-api-key
    webhook: https://usetrmnl.com/api/custom_plugins/sonarr-webhook-id

  - name: radarr
    url: http://localhost:7878
    api_key: your-radarr-api-key
    webhook: https://usetrmnl.com/api/custom_plugins/radarr-webhook-id

  - name: lidarr
    url: http://localhost:8686
    api_key: your-lidarr-api-key
    webhook: https://usetrmnl.com/api/custom_plugins/lidarr-webhook-id

Troubleshooting

View Collector Logs

docker compose logs -f

Test Without Sending to TRMNL

Run with --dry-run to see the JSON output:

docker compose run --rm trmnl-collector python /app/trmnl_collector.py --config /app/config.yaml --dry-run

Common Issues

"Cannot connect to..."

• Verify your Servarr URL is accessible from the Docker container
• If using localhost, try using your machine's IP address or host.docker.internal (on Docker Desktop)

"Authentication failed..."

• Double-check your API key in Settings > General > API Key

Times are wrong

• Set the correct timezone in your config.yaml (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London)

Alternative Installation Methods

Docker Run (Single Instance)

If you only have one Servarr instance, you can use docker run with environment variables instead of a config file:

docker run -d \
  --name trmnl-servarr \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e SERVARR_URL=http://localhost:8989 \
  -e API_KEY=your-api-key \
  -e WEBHOOK_URL=https://usetrmnl.com/api/custom_plugins/xxx \
  -e INTERVAL=900 \
  -e TZ=America/New_York \
  ghcr.io/pythcon/trmnl-servarr-collector:latest

Environment Variable	Description	Required
SERVARR_URL	Servarr instance URL	Yes
API_KEY	Servarr API key	Yes
WEBHOOK_URL	TRMNL webhook URL	Yes
APP_NAME	Display name for title bar (e.g., "TV Shows")	No (auto from app type)
INTERVAL	Collection interval in seconds (0 = run once)	No (default: 0)
TZ	Timezone for display	No (default: UTC)
APP_TYPE	App type (sonarr/radarr/lidarr/readarr/prowlarr)	No (auto-detected)
CALENDAR_DAYS	Days forward for calendar	No (default: 7)
CALENDAR_DAYS_BEFORE	Days back for calendar	No (default: 0)

pip install requests pyyaml

# Run with config file (recommended for multiple instances)
python trmnl_collector.py --config config.yaml

# Or run with CLI arguments (single instance)
python trmnl_collector.py \
  -u http://localhost:8989 \
  -k your-api-key \
  -w https://usetrmnl.com/api/custom_plugins/xxx \
  -z America/New_York \
  -i 900
