Trailarr Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Trailarr hosting gives your media library a self-hosted trailer manager on your own domain: it finds trailers for the movies and shows in Radarr and Sonarr and saves them beside the media. Deploy Trailarr 0.13.1 as one pinned container with config and media volumes, a login you choose and a generated API key, over HTTPS in minutes, with Radarr and Sonarr connected afterwards.

What is Trailarr?

Trailarr is a self-hosted app to download and manage trailers for your media libraries. Upstream connects to multiple Radarr, Sonarr and Plex instances, saves trailers next to your media using Plex naming conventions that also work with Emby and Jellyfin, and detects existing trailers to avoid duplicates. A self-hosted Trailarr is an alternative to relying on PlexPass trailers or adding them by hand, released under GPL-3.0.

On xCloud it is Trailarr 0.13.1 from the upstream image, pinned by digest, as one container with trailarr_config and trailarr_media volumes. xCloud applies your login, generates an API key and serves the app over HTTPS. It sees only its own /media volume, so trailers do not appear in Radarr, Sonarr or media servers on other sites.

From Sign-Up to a Live Trailarr In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Trailarr install needs the app, a config volume, a media volume, a login, a domain and a certificate before it can connect to Radarr. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Trailarr from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, an administrator username and password, and a timezone.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We start docker.io/nandyalu/trailarr:0.13.1, pinned by digest, mount trailarr_config and trailarr_media, generate an API key and publish the web interface over HTTPS. First start migrates the database and takes a minute or two.

  3. Step 03

    Connect Radarr And Sonarr

    Sign in, then add Radarr or Sonarr under Settings, Connections with their URL and API key. Check the path mapping so the media paths they report match folders inside this container under /media.

Trailers For Radarr And Sonarr Libraries: Trailarr On Your Own Server

Trailarr runs here as the trailer manager, with its settings and downloaded trailers on volumes you control.

  • Connect Radarr, Sonarr And Plex

    Upstream connects multiple Radarr, Sonarr and Plex instances so Trailarr can see the movies and shows in your libraries.

  • Trailers Saved Next To Media

    Trailarr downloads trailers and saves them beside the movie or episode file they belong to, using Plex naming conventions.

  • Custom Profiles

    Control quality, format and processing options with custom profiles, so trailers match what your player expects.

  • Duplicate Detection

    Trailarr detects existing trailers and skips duplicates, and it can skip PlexPass trailers that meet a minimum resolution.

  • Web UI To Browse

    Browse your library in the web UI and manage trailers for each title.

  • Software Conversion Only

    Video conversion uses software ffmpeg. There is no GPU acceleration on this install, so heavy conversions take longer.

What You Can Do With Trailarr

  • Add trailers to a movie collection

    Let Trailarr fetch a trailer for each title and save it next to the film for your media server to find.

  • Keep TV extras tidy

    Handle shows and episodes from Sonarr with the same profiles and naming.

  • Avoid re-downloading what you have

    Rely on duplicate detection so existing trailers are skipped on later runs.

  • Choose the quality you want

    Use profiles to set format and resolution so trailers fit your devices.

Trailarr vs Alternatives

PlexPass trailers
As a self-hosted alternative to PlexPass trailers, Trailarr saves trailer files next to your media, and it can skip PlexPass trailers that already meet a minimum resolution.
Radarr
Radarr has its own OneClick page. In a Trailarr vs Radarr comparison, Radarr manages movie downloads, while Trailarr adds trailers for the titles Radarr tracks.
Sonarr
Sonarr has its own OneClick page. It manages shows, and Trailarr connects to it to add trailers and extras.
Jellyfin
Jellyfin has its own OneClick page. It is a media server that can use trailers saved with Plex-style naming.

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Does Trailarr work with Radarr and Sonarr?

Yes. Upstream connects to multiple Radarr, Sonarr and Plex instances. Add them under Settings, Connections with their URL and API key, then check the path mapping, because the media paths they report must match folders inside this container.

Why can my media server not see Trailarr trailers?

Trailarr writes each trailer next to the media file on its own /media volume, with folders for movies and tv. Radarr, Sonarr and media servers on other sites cannot see that volume unless an administrator mounts shared media.

Does Trailarr work with Plex, Jellyfin or Emby?

Upstream follows Plex naming conventions out of the box and says it also works with Emby and Jellyfin. The media server still has to read the folder where Trailarr saves the files, so the volumes must be shared.

Can you self-host Trailarr with Docker?

Yes. Upstream recommends Docker Compose, and this template is Trailarr Docker hosting ready to go: the 0.13.1 image pinned by digest, config and media volumes, an API key and HTTPS on your domain, so there is no Compose file for you to maintain.

How much RAM does Trailarr need?

The manifest floor is 512 MB of RAM, one core and 10 GB of disk, and trailer files fill the media volume. Conversion uses software ffmpeg, so heavier jobs lean on CPU, and the 6 GB plan leaves headroom.

Does Trailarr support GPU conversion?

Not on this install. Video conversion uses software ffmpeg only, with no GPU acceleration, so converting many trailers takes longer than on a machine with a supported graphics card. Plan the schedule around that, and run conversions off-peak.

Is the Trailarr password the upstream default?

No. The login uses the username and password you set at install, so it is not the upstream default. It is applied on every start, so a password changed inside Trailarr is reverted on restart; change it in the environment and redeploy, and keep the generated API key private.

Is Trailarr open source?

Yes. Trailarr is GPL-3.0 software, so running it carries no licence cost. The only expense is the Cloud VPS, which gives you a Trailarr cloud of your own instead of a paid add-on or a subscription.

How do I back up Trailarr?

Back up trailarr_config, which holds settings and the database, and trailarr_media if you want to keep downloaded trailers. Trailarr copies its database to /config/backups on each start, but that copy stays on the same volume, so keep your own copy off the server.

How do I upgrade Trailarr?

The install stays on its pinned 0.13.1 image until you adopt a newer template version. Scan what upstream changed and copy trailarr_config first. Nothing upgrades automatically, and Trailarr migrates its database on the first start after a change.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
