Prowlarr

aMuTorrent integrates with Prowlarr to search for torrents across multiple indexers and add them directly to rTorrent or qBittorrent.

Requirements

• Prowlarr instance with configured indexers
• At least one BitTorrent client enabled in aMuTorrent (rTorrent or qBittorrent)

Configuration

Via Settings UI

1. Go to Settings in aMuTorrent
2. Expand the BitTorrent Integration section (Prowlarr settings are nested here)
3. Enable Prowlarr integration
4. Configure:
   • Prowlarr URL: Full URL to your Prowlarr instance (e.g., http://prowlarr:9696)
   • API Key: Your Prowlarr API key (found in Prowlarr → Settings → General)

Via Environment Variables

PROWLARR_ENABLED=true
PROWLARR_URL=http://prowlarr:9696
PROWLARR_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Via config.json

{
  "integrations": {
    "prowlarr": {
      "enabled": true,
      "url": "http://prowlarr:9696",
      "apiKey": "your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

Finding Your API Key

1. Open Prowlarr web interface
2. Go to Settings → General
3. Under Security, find API Key
4. Copy the key and paste it in aMuTorrent settings

Docker Compose Example

services:
  prowlarr:
    image: linuxserver/prowlarr:latest
    container_name: prowlarr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - ./data/prowlarr/config:/config
    ports:
      - "9696:9696"
    restart: unless-stopped

  # Use rTorrent, qBittorrent, or both
  rtorrent:
    image: crazymax/rtorrent-rutorrent:latest
    container_name: rtorrent
    # ... rtorrent config (see RTORRENT.md) ...

  qbittorrent:
    image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent
    # ... qbittorrent config (see QBITTORRENT.md) ...

  amutorrent:
    image: g0t3nks/amutorrent:latest
    environment:
      # Enable at least one BitTorrent client
      - RTORRENT_ENABLED=true
      - RTORRENT_HOST=rtorrent
      - RTORRENT_PORT=8000

      - PROWLARR_ENABLED=true
      - PROWLARR_URL=http://prowlarr:9696
      - PROWLARR_API_KEY=your-api-key
    volumes:
      # Download directories (optional): Required for moving/deleting files
      - ./data/rTorrent/downloads:/downloads
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    restart: unless-stopped

Troubleshooting

”Prowlarr not configured”

• Verify Prowlarr URL and API key in Settings
• Ensure Prowlarr is accessible from aMuTorrent (check Docker networking)

No Search Results

• Verify indexers are configured and working in Prowlarr
• Check Prowlarr logs for indexer errors
• Some indexers may be rate-limited or require authentication

Download Fails

• Ensure at least one BitTorrent client (rTorrent or qBittorrent) is connected and working
• Check if the torrent/magnet link is valid
• Some indexers may require Prowlarr to proxy downloads
• If both clients are connected, check that you selected the correct target client

API Key Invalid

• Regenerate the API key in Prowlarr if needed
• Ensure no extra spaces when copying the key
• API keys are case-sensitive
