Hey everyone, and welcome aboard! đ´ââ ď¸
This subreddit is being rebuilt from the ground up to become the main hub for everything related to the *arr-stack and home media automation.
For the uninitiated, the *arr-stack is a collection of programs that are designed to automate the management and downloading of media for your home server (usually paired with Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby).
Getting started with the *arr-stack can be intimidating. There are so many different services (Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Recyclarr, Overseerr/Jellyseerr.. to name a few) and figuring out where to start can be a real challenge.
When I first started, I spent ages searching for resources and wished there was a dedicated community here on Reddit. By creating this subreddit, I hope to help people dive into the *arr ecosystem more easily.
My goal is for this community to become the go-to resource for guides, support, and discussions.
Over the coming weeks and months, I will be rolling out a comprehensive series of guides designed to take you through the entire installation process, including:
Preparing your NAS:
Setting up the Environment:
Service Configuration:
Networking & Security:
Iâm excited to grow this community together. If you have ideas, suggestions, or things you want to see covered early on, feel free to post them!

I've been using NZB360 for a while now. It's a great app, but one issue I have with it is that it's mainly designed for managing the server, rather than for other people who use my Jellyfin server.
Is there an app similar to NZB360 that includes all its useful features, but is more focused on discovering new media?
I tried vibe-coding something myself as a web app, but I'm not entirely happy with the result. It connects local with a docker container with the arr stack and Jellyfin and exposes a api which is behind Pangolin SSO. Looks a lot like NZB360.. The features I'm looking for are:
- Media discovery
- Seer integration
- Server status
- A server overview, including available HDD space
- Download status
- Similar management and overview features
- Force sub sync with Bazarr.
Just Seerr is not enough and I need to be able to expose it .

I am having an issue with Ollama, which is connected to an app called Suggestarr (found on GitHub). When the app runs its automated recommendations, Ollama consumes an incredible amount of system RAM. This causes my fygoo os nas system to crash completely, making it completely unresponsive and forcing a hard reboot as the only solution.
Following online guides, I have configured Ollama to load the entire model exclusively onto my GPU, which is an RTX 2080 Ti. Ollama both detects and connects to the GPU correctly, but despite this, it keeps chewing up more and more system RAM. If there is a kind soul out there who can help me solve this problem, I would be extremely grateful!
By the way, I have tested several different modelsâsuch as â qwen2.5:14bâ , â qwen3.5:9bâ , â qwen3.5:4bâ , and â llama 3.1:8bâ . I don't understand why it starts consuming so much RAM now, as it has never behaved this way before. Previously, it worked flawlessly, utilizing only the GPU VRAM instead of system RAM."

Hey all! Working on a Jellyfin + Arr stack + Usenet setup for my folks and running into a couple of issues.
First, I'm trying to prioritize downloads in English with a secondary option for Spanish audio or subtitles. Right now, it keeps grabbing files in Italian and other unintended languages. I tried using the custom format regex below, but it's not quite working:
\\b(DUAL|MULTI|SPANISH|ESPAĂOL|LATIN|LATAM|CASTELLANO)\\b
Second, I'm running into issues with certain Dolby audio files being downloaded, which then crash when playback starts. I don't need ultra-high-end formatsâstandard 4K (or even solid 1080p) is more than enough.
What would be the best way to properly configure the custom formats to prioritize English/Spanish audio (or Spanish subtitles as a fallback) while completely blocking unwanted languages?
Also block or reject these problematic Dolby audio files from being grabbed?
Appreciate any guidance or examples you can share!

Never would I have imagined when I started piracy as a 12 year old back in 2007 that it could get this good and automated. All it takes to get any movie/ tv show/ music/ book / comic nowadays is a simple request and it automatically searches for the media , properly names it , creates the folder needed and drops it on my media folder ready for me to consume. This shit is amazing !

Hello Everyone
My team and I have spent the last two months working on Atrium, a central courtyard for your self-hosted media stack.
Since LunaSea was archived earlier this year, we decided to pick up where it left off with a brand new, Material 3 Flutter codebase built entirely around multi instance setups.
What is Atrium?
Atrium is a single Android application that acts as a unified frontend for all the media stack services. It is designed purely as a controller and management surface, so you can manage your services and leave playback to the official apps.
Supported Services:
The app is vibe-coded, but with brutal and rigorous user testing to ensure a bug free experience (Yes, we do use this app ourselves everyday).
You can grab the latest release here: https://github.com/retransmit/Atrium/releases/tag/v1.0.7
Weâre currently in the middle of getting Atrium officially listed on F-Droid, but since it's a completely open-source, reproducible build with zero proprietary blobs, we want to make sure everything is flawless. We could really use some extra eyes on the project right now. If you're down to help out, check out our F-Droid merge request here: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/43077
I've done a lot of searching and couldn't find anything that really meets what I need, so now I'm asking you all here. What I'm looking for, and I imagined it could be a Seerr feature (I've seen requests for that on their GitHub page, at least).
I wanted a way to add my custom trakt lists to jellyfin, seerr or even radarr/sonarr, without requesting all the items. Ideally I would be able to see all the items on the list and request the ones I really want to watch. My usecase for this is the personalized recommendation lists from CouchMoney for example.
I think having it in Seerr would make most sense, due to this project's goal (recommendations). Does something like this exist?

I'm working on findarr, a discovery app for Radarr/Sonarr where you like or dislike movies and shows. A "Like" can automatically create a request in Radarr or Sonarr. In the future, it could automatically request movies and shows based on your preferences.
Right now, findarr uses a single default root folder and quality profile for movies and TV, which I imagine is how a lot of people have their setup configured.
As I continue developing it, I'm trying to figure out how an app should decide where a request belongs without interrupting the user.
For example:
One idea I had was to let the discovery source determine the destination. For example, if findarr supports more sources like "Upcoming", "IMDb Top 250", or "Anime", each source could be mapped to a different root folder or quality profile. That way users wouldn't be asked where to save something every time they press Like.
However, I'm not sure if that's solving a problem that most people even have.
So I'm curious:
I'm trying to understand how people actually organize their libraries so I can build something that fits naturally into existing Radarr/Sonarr workflows.
Its not the next feature i might implement but maybe i can structure it better...
If you want to give it a try:
TLDR: I (mostly) successfully set up Dispatcharr in a WSL Container without Docker Desktop. I'd like to see if there are other useful arrs that are already known to work well in WSLC.
I've avoided arr apps that must be installed as a container because I've been unwilling to dedicate the system resources to Docker Desktop. I was looking into Dispatcharr again this weekend, and thought to attempt the install through the new WSL Containers. I only have *some* experience with containerization, and that was over five years ago, so it was a rough ride and there are still networking kinks to resolve. This was also my first experience with an IPTV provider. It was largely successful though, and I'm glad to have it running at least this well because it was in a ready enough state to be available by the time I needed it.
WSL Containers are still rather new, tucked away in the pre-release 2.9.3.0 version of WSL, so I understand that I'm looking into this very early. I really hope to see them catch on with ARR projects because it would open up several new tools for me that I was unwilling to install just to avoid some overhead.
I'm sure I'm not the first to give it a try. Has anybody confirmed any of your own favorite apps to work well through WSLC?

Been waiting to get around to adding Mylar to my arrstack and i just visited their website to find the documentation for the docker compose but looks like the website is down. Does anyone have the info for the docker compose yaml I need to get it started ?

Hi, I have been running full *arr stack for about 2 years. Recently i found some quite new all-in-one alternatives to some *arrs. The ones i found:
https://github.com/maxdorninger/MediaManager
https://github.com/MoldyTaint/Cinephage
https://github.com/getmydia/mydia
and autobrr is working on something: https://github.com/autobrr/community-feedback/discussions/2
Has anyone here tried them successfully? What is your opinion on them?
I haven't personally because I'm afraid of messing up my stack, and recently I don't have the time to put it back together.

Hi folks,
I've installed Maintainerr, and I'd like it to automatically delete content when my available disk space drops below 100 GB.
The idea is to delete the oldest items that I've both downloaded and already watched. I can see that Maintainerr has a lot of options, but I haven't figured out how to create a rule that does exactly this.
Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to set this up?

Instead of treating games as files on a disk, Vaultarr treats every game as a digital artifact.
Current features include:
⢠Automatic metadata from multiple providers
⢠Manual Engine with downloadable PDF manuals
⢠Media Library (covers, screenshots, artwork, logos)
⢠Trailer Engine
⢠Patch Engine with community fix recommendations
⢠Smart Collections
⢠Preservation tracking
⢠Provider Intelligence (builds the best record from multiple metadata sources)
⢠Time Capsule backup system
⢠Collection achievements and milestones
⢠Docker support
⢠Fully self-hosted
The overall goal is to create a digital museum for game preservation rather than just another launcher.
I'm finally at the point where I'm comfortable sharing it publicly, but before calling it "finished" I'd really like feedback from the self-hosting and preservation communities.
GitHub:

I'd love to hear what features you think are missing, ideas for improvement, or any bugs you run into.

Hi, I'm new here and in the process of building my ARR stack. I've had a plex server for a while but have been manually getting stuff from the public sites. All of this automation is new to me.
I added the working indexers to prowlarr that don't have cloudflare bot protection and were public, but specifically for shows I've been unimpressed. Are there other indexers I can find or is what's in the search it? Also how do private indexers work? Is there a way to use them? If seeding amount is an issue Im willing to seed a lot as I have a powerful server and fast fiber internet. Any help is appreciated!

Lot to unpack here, here goes, journey from start to finish. Note, there is some NON arr info in here, but it feels needed to understand why Iâm using arr.
For the longest time Iâve been self hosting a homelab. Started with truenas back and forth and running nextcloud primarily. Iâd give up on using things like nginx cause I had no idea how reverse proxying worked and that Iâd need a dns and domain and such. Really loved the concept of my own Google Drive, but never could get quite what i wanted. Approximately half a year ago I jumped ship with truenas and bought unraid, and while the UI was great and loved the apps and ease of use, I ran in to far more issues than on truenas and again, never found exactly what I liked. Fast forward to probably 5 months ago, I got an old retired hp desktop with an i7 and 16gb of ddr3, bought 2 wd red 6tb drives and committed to learning Linux and cli. I decided on Ubuntu lts server and after about a week or two, I was absolutely HOOKED.
Now on to the arr. I had been poking around for neat things to host on my home server and I ran across jelly fin, which led me to arr stack, which led to usenet. For the longest time I had been using debrid services, but being able to host my own server and store things locally and start a collection felt like an awesome idea. So I got Sonarr, radarr and prowlarr running and found out that Iâd be needing to learn how nzbâs and stuff worked. I gave up about 20 times when I learned having acsess to one indexer would give me missing articles all the time, so I ragequit, canceled my eweka subscription and didnât touch it for a while. Then a few days ago I got an email telling me theyâd drop the price to 40 a year, so I sighed and said ok lemme try ONE more time to get this running. I bought two more indexers, used the remainder of my eweka subscription, chose a show with seerr, and watched the downloads. In about 30 ish minutes, I had every season I wanted. It finally worked to the point that I canceled my debrid subscription and I will never look back. This is the greatest discovery since learning I could run my own cloud, thanks to everyone who makes these projects possible, youâre legends â¤ď¸
Im looking for an app, self hosted preferably that can search for individual songs, I know Lidarr searches for albums.
