A video game management application inspired by the -Arr apps (Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr...) and GamezServer. Track and organize your video game collection with automated discovery and download management.
- 🎮 Game Discovery: Browse popular games, new releases, and upcoming titles via IGDB integration and xREL.to. Sync your Steam wishlist.
- 📚 Library Management: Track your game collection with status indicators (Wanted, Owned, Playing, Completed), user ratings, and Early Access badges.
- ⬇️ Download Management: Integrate with indexers (Prowlarr/Torznab/Newsznab), torrent/usenet downloaders (qBittorrent, Transmission, rTorrent / sabnzbd, nzbget), and optionally enable auto-download to get them right when they're there.
- 🔍 Search & Filter: Find games by genre, platform, and search terms. Automatically search for added games until available on your indexers. Blacklist unwanted releases and set preferred release groups and platforms.
- 🗂️ Rich Metadata: Game details enriched with IGDB, Steam, HowLongToBeat, PCGamingWiki links, and NexusMods pages, as well as trending mods (if applicable).
- 📊 Stats Page: Visualize your collection statistics, with Discord sharing support.
- 📰 RSS Feeds: Monitor releases from your favorite groups directly within the app.
- 🔒 Privacy Focused: No external dependencies (even google fonts are locally hosted) and hardened security (CSP, SSRF protection), as well as SSL support.
- ✨ Clean Interface: UI optimized for browsing game covers and metadata, with light/dark mode.

Docker is the easiest way to deploy Questarr with all dependencies included. Questarr uses a SQLite database which is self-contained in the application container.
Option 1: One-liner (Simplest)
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v ./data:/app/data --name questarr ghcr.io/doezer/questarr:latestOption 2: Docker Compose
-
Create a
docker-compose.ymlfile:services: app: image: ghcr.io/doezer/questarr:latest ports: - "5000:5000" volumes: - ./data:/app/data environment: - SQLITE_DB_PATH=/app/data/sqlite.db restart: unless-stopped
-
Start the application:
docker compose up -d
-
Access the application: Open your browser to
http://localhost:5000
If you are upgrading from an older version that used PostgreSQL, you need to migrate your data.
-
Stop your current application:
docker compose down
-
Get the migration tools: Download the
docker-compose.migrate.ymlfile to your directory. -
Run the migration: This command spins up your old database and converts the data to the new format automatically.
docker compose -f docker-compose.migrate.yml up --abort-on-container-exit
-
Update your deployment: Replace your
docker-compose.ymlwith the new version (see "Fresh Install" above). -
Start the new version:
docker compose up -d
See docs/MIGRATION.md for more details.
- First-time setup:
- Create your admin account
- Configure the IGDB credentials
Once logged-in:
- Configure indexers
- Add downloaders
- Add games!
See Configuration on the Wiki for more detailed info.
