I'm running a docker on Ubuntu 18.0.04. When try to add SABnzbd as a Download Client in sonarr, I get a message "Unable to connect to SABnzbd, please check your settings."
I have tried several settings for adding the download client. I have tried these parameters: Port of {8080, 9090}. Host of {localhost, 192.168.x.xx, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0}. I have verified that the API Key was correctly copied from SABnzbd API Key. Whenever I hit the Test button in Sonarr, it says it's unable to connect.
I did several docker commands:
docker pull linuxserver/sabnzbd
docker create --name=sabnzbd -e PUID=1000 ... --restart unless stopped linuxserver/sabnzbd
docker run -it --net=container:vpn -d linuxserver/sabnzbd
docker start sabnzbd
Note that SABnzbd is running in a dockerized NordVPN container.
I can access SABnzbd from an Ubuntu browser on a standard 192.168.x.xx:8080 .

Re: Docker version "Unable to connect" from sonarr
It depends of course where Sonarr and SAbnzbd are running, all on the same machine? If you can access it from that machine that Sonarr runs on, then Sonarr should be able to reach it too at 192.168.x.xx:8080.
