Seerr / Overseerr

Seerr (and its fork Overseerr) is a media request management tool. Users can request movies and TV shows, and Seerr sends them to Sonarr/Radarr for download. Dubby integrates with Seerr to show media availability.

How it works

Dubby acts as a “media server” in Seerr’s configuration, similar to how Plex or Jellyfin integrate. This enables:

• Availability display — Seerr shows which requested media is already available in your Dubby library
• Library sync — Seerr periodically fetches your Dubby library to update availability status
• Webhook notifications — Dubby notifies Seerr when new media is added

Setup

1. Configure Seerr

In Seerr’s settings, add Dubby as a media server:

• Server type: Dubby
• Server URL: Your Dubby server URL (e.g., http://dubby:3000)
• Click Test to verify the connection

Seerr will register itself with Dubby and receive an API key for subsequent requests.

2. Verify in Dubby

After connecting, you can verify the integration in Dubby’s admin settings under Integrations > Seerr.

API endpoints

Dubby exposes several endpoints specifically for Seerr integration:

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/seerr/system/info	Server identity (no auth required)
GET /api/seerr/libraries	List all libraries
GET /api/seerr/libraries/:id/items	Paginated media items in a library
GET /api/seerr/items/:id	Single item details
POST /api/seerr/availability/check	Check if specific media is available
GET /api/seerr/recent	Recently added media
POST /api/seerr/webhook	Receive availability updates

These endpoints use a separate API key (not your user Bearer token) that is exchanged during the initial registration handshake.

Docker networking

If running both Dubby and Seerr in Docker, ensure they’re on the same Docker network so they can communicate by service name:

services:
  dubby:
    image: dubbytv/dubby:latest
    networks:
      - media

  seerr:
    image: seerr/seerr:latest
    networks:
      - media

networks:
  media:

Then use http://dubby:3000 as the server URL in Seerr’s configuration.
