Description of issue:

I tried to install sonarr v3 on my readynas. I’m running it with user and group nzbdrone in order to get permissions already in order, but I’m unable to start the service. This is the output that I get from the service:

systemctl status sonarr

However, this isn’t telling me much on what the exact issue could be… Anyone knows what I can do or what else I might need to provide?

Why are you trying to run Sonarr v2 (nzbdrone) when you have v3 (Sonarr) installed?

I’m thinking whatever instructions you followed are not only woofully out of date but utterly wrong.

V2 has been EOL since 3/2021

As said, I’m running it with the user nzbdrone, but it is version 3.0.6.

But found the issue, had a service script created for V2 that was called sonarr.service, which I had to remove before installing V3.
