Getting Started

Getting Started

Section titled “Getting Started”

This quick start gets Weaver running with persistent configuration, intermediate storage, complete storage, and your first browser session.

Docker Compose

Section titled “Docker Compose”

Save as docker-compose.yml, replacing /path/to/downloads with your own folder:

services:
  weaver:
    image: ghcr.io/scryer-media/weaver:latest
    container_name: weaver
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "9090:9090"
    volumes:
      - weaver-config:/config
      - /path/to/downloads:/downloads


volumes:
  weaver-config:

Start it:

Terminal window
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:9090.

First Configuration Pass

Section titled “First Configuration Pass”
  1. Open Settings > General and confirm the data, intermediate, and complete directories.
  2. Open Settings > Servers and add only the connection records Weaver should use.
  3. Open Settings > Categories if your jobs need named destination overrides.
  4. Use Upload to submit NZB files and create your first jobs.
  5. Watch Queue, Monitoring, and Logs as your first job runs.

Upgrading

Section titled “Upgrading”

To upgrade a Docker install, pull the latest image and restart:

Terminal window
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

For more detail, see Upgrading.

Reverse Proxy Subpath

Section titled “Reverse Proxy Subpath”

To host Weaver at a subpath like https://example.com/weaver/, add a command override:

command: ["--config", "/config", "serve", "--port", "9090", "--base-url", "/weaver"]

Then point your reverse proxy at Weaver’s port and preserve the /weaver path.

macOS With Homebrew

Section titled “macOS With Homebrew”
Terminal window
brew install scryer-media/weaver/weaver-usenet
brew services start weaver-usenet

Open http://localhost:9090.

Homebrew creates a live service config at $(brew --prefix)/etc/weaver/config.env.

Edit that file to change the Homebrew-managed config path, port, or base URL:

Terminal window
nano "$(brew --prefix)/etc/weaver/config.env"

Then restart the service:

Terminal window
brew services restart weaver-usenet

Windows

Section titled “Windows”

Download weaver-windows-x86_64.zip from the latest release, unzip it, and start weaver.exe. Open http://localhost:9090.
