  • They’re just media library organizers that can download media for you using torrents or Usenet. There’s a different one for each type of media:

    • Radar - Movies
    • Sonarr - TV
    • Lidarr - Music
    • Readarr - eBooks
    • Whisparr - Porn

    There’s also prowlarr, which you can use to set up a list of indexers (torrent/Usenet sites) that the other *arr servers can use, so you don’t have to configure each server’s indexer list individually. You can also use it as an aggregated indexer search for other things that arent managed by the rest of the suite (like software).

    There’s also bazarr which you can use to automatically download subtitles for your TV/movie library.

    And there’s flaresolvarr which can be used by prowlarr to bypass captchas for indexers that use them.

    It’s all pretty easy to set up, especially if you’re using docker containers, although there is a community install script that’ll do everything for you if you want them installed directly on Linux.

    You do need a separate download client set up, like qbittorrent for torrents and sabnzbd for Usenet.









  • If you don’t have to sit through a bunch of ‘meetings that could have been emails’ on a daily basis, you likely won’t have a use case for it.

    But in my last job I was a systems engineer for a web development company. I had to be included on all of the dev calls in case an infrastructure question came up that I needed to answer, and so I was vaguely aware of what the devs were doing.

    This software would have been a lifesaver, because my ADHD doesn’t let me listen to stuff like that for a straight hour or two.
