[Solved] SABnzbd Refused connection During Radar Setup

Post by trekker »

Hello,

Thanks to this great tool, I've been able to install all of the services but I'm running into an issue during the Radarr config. When I try my host IP or gluetun as the host name for SABnzbd, I receive an error in SABnzbd that it is refusing the connection. I've whitelisted gluetun in the SABnzbd special tab but that hasn't resolved it.

I had a similar issue with qbittorrent when I tried just the host IP but changing that to gluetun did fix it in that case. Any other things I should look into?

Thanks

Hi @trekker!

Add your current hostname in the host_whitelist setting in SABnzbd as described here:

If that doesn't work, please send the logs for SABnzbd, since it's almost impossible to debug without reading the logs

Cheers!

@rogs
Thanks for the reply.

I do have gluetun listed in the host_whitelist setting in SABnzbd.

Below is the portion of the SABnzbd log that I assume is relevant but let me know if I'm missing anything important.

Code: Select all

2025-07-30 17:46:48,713::INFO::[notifier:163] Sending notification: Warning - Refused connection from: ::ffff:172.60.0.14 [Radarr/5.26.2.10099 (alpine 3.22.1)] (type=warning, job_cat=None)

2025-07-30 17:46:48,713::WARNING::[interface:417] Refused connection from: ::ffff:172.60.0.14 [Radarr/5.26.2.10099 (alpine 3.22.1)]

2025-07-30 17:46:48,730::WARNING::[interface:417] Refused connection from: ::ffff:172.60.0.14 [Radarr/5.26.2.10099 (alpine 3.22.1)]

Below are the Radarr logs.  I'm assuming it has to do with the "External internet access denied" errors but I wouldn't know how to resolve those.

Thanks again.
