NZBHydra is a meta search for NZB indexers and the "spiritual successor" to NZBmegasearcH. It provides easy access to a number of raw and newznab based indexers. hydra
The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.
-p 5075
- the port(s)-v /config
- Where hydra should store config files-v /downloads
- NZB download folder-e PGID
for GroupID - see below for explanation-e PUID
for UserID - see below for explanation-e TZ
for timezone EG. Europe/London
It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it hydra /bin/bash
.
Sometimes when using data volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.
In this instance PUID=1001
and PGID=1001
. To find yours use id user
as below:
$ id <dockeruser>
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
The web interface is at <your ip>:5075
, to set up indexers and connections to your nzb download applications.

To monitor the logs of the container in realtime
docker logs -f hydra
. -
container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' hydra
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/hydra
