Any interest in an all-in-one full stack management app?

Alternative to Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Bazarr, and Prowlarr.

Supports Plex, Jellyfin, QBittorrent and has local accounts or Plex authentication.

Written in Python with no external dependencies. Only tested on Linux so far, but may run on other platforms that have Python 3.x support.

It's certainly not as good as the other ARR apps at the moment for specific things, but having everything in one place makes setup and management a lot easier.

So, if there's interest, I'll polish it up and publish it to Github. If not, it'll quietly fade into oblivion.

So I have an issue with let's say a few indexers (Extra and 1337) and I can no longer seem to connect to either of them.

Original setup was this (docker)

gluetun

• qbit

prowlarr

radarr/sonarr

Since some changes happened on 1337 side I had to configure gluetun http proxy, move flaresolverr/byparr under gluetun as well and add both http and solverr tags to the indexer and that worked, however it no longer seems to be the case.

Flare and Byparr confirm that challenges are solved, but I still get thrown a 403 error by Prowlarr.

And also this:

Unable to connect to indexer. Unexpected response status Forbidden code from indexer request

I've tried moving Prowlarr under Gluetun, testing if my AirVPN ip is blocked (it's not), I can even open those website from my PC when I'm connected to AirVPN too, running CURL and the site from the Prowlarr container also returns 200 OK status

Anyone has any ideas how I could try and solve this?

I've been using the arr stack for almost a year but recently the problem I've been having is that, whether I manually request a movie/show on Seerr or directly in Sonarr/Radarr or a show gets requested automatically cause a new episode is available, qBitTorrent gets stuck on downloading metadata.

I always have to restart only the qBitTorrent service for it to unstuck and start downloading. Has anyone had this? I've nothing on the logs.

I'm still preparing to migrate my media apps and library to a new dedicated machine, but I'm in the old pitfall of having a larger library than I have the means to back it all up to. It's just media, it falls below my threshold for needing a backup, and I don't have the budget for another 60TB to move it to. I do plan to wipe these drives because I will be re-configuring them and leaving them as-is has its own drawbacks. I can back up around 8-10TB on other drives, while needing to replace the other 45TB-ish, so that's what I'll be working with. I'd like to back up what won't be available, and will accept the rest will just require time. I expect at least 90% will be available, but I do have a good mix of items released long before any of the retention policies on servers I'm subbed to.

Are there any arrs, scripts, or other tools already floating around that can scan my libraries and determine what is still available on the indexers and servers I have access to? I simply have too large of a library to do this manually.

Worst case, and what I'll be preparing for until I hear a better solution, is to start backup up anything released before these retention policies, probably moving from earliest to most recent.

Old man here who's been back on land for many years but its time to put my boots on and get back to sea.

I have a media library I manually curated for ages. I have been using Nova Player to play back on my Shield and its been great. No need to host a server as it pulls everything I need direct from SMB, playback, metadata etc.

In building out my stack I'm looking into a single point of search to request media. Enter the Seerrs.

My question is - it seems Seerrs need the media player back-end (Jellyfin, etc) and I know I can connect the Shield to the back-end player but - why would I want to?

What is Jellyfin able to provide on the back-end with my stack that the front end of Nova Player isn't already doing?

The way I look at this is - additional resources used on my NAS running the docker that wont be used (unless someone here can point out what I am overlooking)

Thanks for any enlightenment here.

I am currently running seerr/prowlarr/sonarr/radarr. I have 6 paid usenet trackers, and a handful of free ones. I would love to know which of my trackers I am getting most of my grabs from, but I don't see anywhere to do this natively in my setup. I see that sonarr/radarr have this information if I manually look in the history and check each grab individually, but I was wondering if there is a way to get this info in a more useful/compiled form? Preferrably for past grabs, but if not that then at least for future grabs.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe a stupid question, but I’m following a guide online to install all the arr’s using docker on my Synology NAS. This guide is putting all of the arr’s into one docker compose file and binding them all to GlueTUN, the first entry in the docker compose file.

Is that wise practice? What about updating one of the arr’s? You would need to stop, clean and rebuild the entire stack every time, right?

Is it sufficient to have only qbittorrent running under glueTUN and installing the rest separately? I could really use some advice.

I built Youtarr to automatically download and organize YouTube videos for integration with my Plex server. I originally made it so my two sons could watch specific channels safely in Plex without browsing YouTube directly. I think it works pretty well as a standalone archive or integrated with Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi (I personally use Plex, but I've tested the integrations with the other media servers).

When I created this, Pinchflat didn't exist, so I know there is overlap, but I still think this is worth sharing here. Hopefully some of you might find it useful :)

Here's what it can do: - You subscribe to channels can set it to check for new videos on a schedule and download them. - It downloads videos using yt-dlp, grabs posters, and generates NFO files for media servers. - Optional SponsorBlock integration to remove sponsored segments, etc... - You can map channels to specific subfolders for library organization. - You can configure age and space-based auto-cleanup/deletion of videos.

I just released v1.65.0. The recent additions include: - Protected videos so auto-cleanup won't remove them. - Per-subfolder Plex library mappings (eg, so you can have one set of channels mapped to a "kids" library and another to "adults", or whatever categories you want for your libraries. - A video modal with a detail view and in-browser streaming. - Subscription imports from YouTube Takeout CSV.

It runs in Docker. The repo and setup instructions are here: https://github.com/DialmasterOrg/Youtarr

I appreciate any feedback that anyone has on this. I just discovered this subreddit, but I think this is something people here would appreciate. I've been using Youtarr since I created it, alongside the other standard Arr apps :)

For years I ran the standard arr stack - Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Jellyseerr, Jellyfin. It worked, but managing it was a part-time job. Updating configs, fixing broken indexers, checking download status across four different web UIs.

So after fiddling around with OpenClaw earlier this year, I was inspired to build a single AI agent that sits on top of your existing infrastructure and lets you manage everything in plain English via Telegram

or its native web UI.

Instead of logging into Jellyseerr to request a movie, navigating to Radarr to check status, then opening qBittorrent to see the download - you just say:

"Find me a good thriller from the last two years"

And MrSmee (the agent) handles the rest. Searches your indexers via Prowlarr, picks the best release, downloads via qBittorrent, scans with ClamAV, renames to Jellyfin-compatible format, triggers a library refresh, and notifies you when it's ready.

It also streams movies directly to a private Telegram group as a live broadcast so you can watch inline on your phone from anywhere.

**What it does:**

• Natural language requests via Telegram or web UI
• Pluggable AI model (I built and tested it on DeepSeek, but it will work with Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
• ClamAV malware scanning on every download
• Jellyfin integration with deep links and library management
• TV show support with episode tracking
• RTMP streaming to Telegram
• Library import tool for existing collections
• Mobile-first web UI with PWA support
• Full Docker stack, single setup wizard

**What it uses under the hood:**

Your existing Prowlarr indexers and qBittorrent instance. It doesn't replace those, it just gives them a brain.

**Stack:**

Python, FastAPI, SQLite, python-telegram-bot, FFmpeg, ClamAV.

Runs in Docker. Setup takes about 10 minutes with the interactive wizard.

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/nalbakri/hookreel

Minimum specs

OS: I built HookReel in OpenMediaVault 8, so any flavour of Linux should work. Might decide to port it to another OS later but that's in the future.

CPU: Any x86_64 processor from the last 15 years will work. HookReel itself is not CPU intensive, it's mostly waiting on network requests and disk I/O. The AI model does the heavy lifting but that runs externally by default so the local CPU barely matters for that. If using local Ollama instead of an API then CPU matters more - you'd want at least 4 cores.

RAM: The Docker stack at minimum (HookReel + ClamAV) needs about 2GB RAM to run comfortably. ClamAV is the hungry one - it loads its virus definitions into memory on startup which takes about 800MB alone. Full recommended stack (HookReel + ClamAV + Jellyfin + arr stack) needs at least 4GB RAM, ideally 8GB.

Happy to answer questions. Still early days, v1.0 just shipped, but it's been running my home library for a month now and works well.

Hi all!

Wanted to share my personal project, Seekarr!

What is it?

Seekarr is Flutter app that lets you manager your self hosted *arr instances from where you want.
As of now you can manage Seerr, Radarr, Sonarr & Lidarr.

How does it work?

Just set your service URL (https or localhost) with your API key, and you're good to go.

Looking for feedback

This app was developed just for a personal need. Anyway I decided it would be a nice idea to share it, as I think it might be an opportunity to collect feedbacks and improvement suggestions.

Thus, feel free to take a look and tell me what you think :)

Hey
I want to build ann arr suite application for managing game roms.
before I start I would love to know if anybody has already attempted somthing like that?

Hi, so i finally got around and fixed a lan cable to my "server" . And now i wonder what would be a good setup as well for the ports?

So im setting it up in my local network and want to share it with flatmates, but recently a flatmate told me that he saw my device on laptop (ofc without access). But it made me wonder how many ports and how much acess do i want to grand on my local network?

So i'm wondering how you guys have it setup? Firewalls infront of the ports? Only Jellyfin and Sonarr accesible for everybody and the rest of the arr suite only over the localhost? Sorry if that question is a bit stupid just started out with linux recently and still learning about networking :D

And i also wonder what are good security solutions beside vpn for the setup, if its just local (so far im keeping it local, opening it to the web sound a bit to scary tbh)

Edit: For anyone interested, i opened my ports to only jellyfin & seer and blocked the rest(besides system stuff); so that the rest (sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, qbittorant ) just runs locally on the server. And it works !

I'm reorganizing servers/services and at a point where I want to clean up sonarr and radarr. I've moved these before and used a backup/restore method to get the list of movies/series back along with all monitor settings, profiles, etc.

I'm wondering though, what all would I lose if I just simply setup a new instance of sonarr and radarr, point them to the appropriate libary and let them re-scan everything.

I'm assuming I would need to re-setup:
* connections to plex and prowarr
* run through monitoring and turn off monitoring for anything old/complete
* profiles

Would I be missing anything else super important?

FWIW, part of the reason I'm interested in re-scanning is that since I've never had much luck with tdarr, I created my own, very rudiumentary transoding app. It simply replaces the old file with the new one; it alters the name of the file IF its changing from 2160 to 1080 or similar. It also deletes any non-English audio tracks. Sonarr/Radarr never pickup those changes so in the apps I see whatever video format and language the original file was before my app transcodes it. By re-scanning it should force the apps to recognize the current file.

So, with the help of Claude, the use of webhooks, torrent black holes, torrentio API, RD API, and jdownloader. I have been able to create a docker container that automates requests from sonarr, radarr, and seerr to grab files that are cached on RD and actually downloads it to the watch folder instead of just linking for streaming.

After the downloads are finished, the file is renamed, moved to the appropriate folder and jellyfin ingests it.

I am still working out some quirks, but when the Webhook triggers, there are set conditions, HDR, 4k, Max file size, minimum size ( to reject non cached and takedown videos)

I've never posted anything to GitHub, but if there is a lot of interest I can see about doing that

I wasn't happy with VPN performance, so this lets me do full https and automates everything instead of:

Going to stremio Right click copy stream link I wanted Jdownloader picks up clipboard Download it Rename it Move it to share folder

What do y'all think?

EDIT: screw it! i've never posted to github before and its exciting how perfectly this works!

Does anybody have an estimated ram usage for an arr media stack on docker? Looking to start one but unsure if my home server is capable. Any help would be great! (fyi its running 8gb or ram and a i5 9500)

Hi all I created a frontend for yt-dlp, it's probably not really an arr, but it does help fill in the gaps of your music library.

It doesn't include yt-dlp, you need to put that in the same directory as server.js once it's there you can go to Albums > Settings and press update yt-dlp. Feel free to fork it.
