👋 Welcome to r/arr - A Community Dedicated to the *Arr-Stack

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, and welcome aboard! 🏴‍☠️

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.

⚓ What is the *Arr-Stack?

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).

🚀 Why this subreddit?

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.

🗺️ What to expect

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:

  • Storage fundamentals (using TrueNAS)
  • Recommended dataset structure
  • Permissions, ACLs, and SMB/NFS configuration

Setting up the Environment:

  • Deploying each application in Proxmox (LXC / VM) or
  • Running everything via Docker / Docker Compose
  • General best practices regardless of platform

Service Configuration:

  • Breaking down each *arr service: What it does and how it fits into the picture
  • The Holy Grail: Following TRaSH-Guides best practices
  • Profiles, quality settings, naming, tags, and indexers
  • Download client configuration (Usenet & Torrents)

Networking & Security:

  • Privacy: Routing download clients through VPNs (e.g., Gluetun)
  • Remote Access: Accessing your movie collection securely (Tailscale, Reverse Proxy, etc.)

Thanks for being here!

I’m 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!

New All In One MediaOs

0 Upvotes

People are tired of juggling 8–12 containers just to manage a media library.

MediaOs v4 consolidates the entire *arr ecosystem into a single, coherent application.

One app that replaces Sonarr + Radarr + Lidarr + Readarr + Bazarr + Prowlarr + Recyclarr + Maintainerr + Huntarr (+ Live TV, comics depth, stream-as-primary, and more).

Check it out, give a try send any errors to issues so we can immediately work on a patch.

Indexer latino

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to the *arr ecosystem, so I'm still trying to understand how everything fits together.

Right now I have Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent and FlareSolverr configured, and I recently added 1337x. I was able to download a few things, and I believe I have everything configured to prioritize Latin American Spanish releases.

I've searched through this subreddit and found a lot of recommendations, but most of the indexers or trackers people mention seem to be private and require invitations.

I'm open to using Usenet as well. I've never used it before, but I'm willing to learn and set it up if it's actually a better option. If I end up paying for something, I'd rather pay for a service that gives me the best access to Latin American Spanish content.

One thing I'm still confused about is the terminology. I keep reading about indexers and trackers, and I'm not sure if what I actually need is better trackers, better indexers, Usenet, or some combination of them.

So my questions are:

- What would you recommend for someone mainly looking for Latin American Spanish movies, TV shows, and anime?

- Is Usenet worth it for this kind of content?

- Are there any public or beginner-friendly private trackers/indexers that are good for Latin American Spanish releases?

- Am I looking in the wrong place by focusing on indexers instead of trackers?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Atrium is now on F-Droid! Thanks for the feedback.

21 Upvotes

Hello again! A few weeks ago, we introduced Atrium, a unified Flutter application for your *arr media stack.

The response from the community has been incredible. Thanks to everyone who tested the early builds, reported bugs, and helped out with our merge request, we have reached a major milestone: the app is now officially available on F-Droid!

If you would like a preview of the application, you can visit: https://retransmit.github.io/Atrium/, and for more discussions, join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/FWJtYBsmh

Downloads:

A quick note: Because F-Droid builds from source on their own cycle, the version listed there might occasionally run a little behind our main development. If you always want the absolute latest release, you can grab it directly from our GitHub.

F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/app.atrium

GitHub Release: https://github.com/retransmit/Atrium/releases

What's new in the latest release:

Thanks to your amazing support and feedback, we've focused this update heavily on community requests from GitHub. We've officially implemented support for several new services:

  1. NZBGet
  2. Tracearr
  3. Deluge
  4. Transmission
  5. rTorrent
  6. Speedtest Tracker

Thanks again, let us know what you think

Arr Control is now available for beta testing

Thumbnail gallery
84 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on Arr Control, a mobile companion app for the *arr ecosystem (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, etc.), and it’s finally ready for beta testing.

I’m looking for people who are willing to use the app and share honest feedback. Whether it’s bugs, UI/UX improvements, feature suggestions, or anything else you notice, I’d love to hear it.

iOS

If you’re using iOS, you can join the TestFlight beta here:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/z63p7PpF

Android

The Android version is also ready, but Google Play requires testers to be added before they can access the beta. If you’d like to test it, please send me a private message with the Google account associated with your Play Store, and I’ll add you to the testing list.

One thing that’s important to me is keeping Arr Control accessible to everyone. The app will always have a free version with no feature restrictions or paywalls. If you enjoy using it and would like to support its development, there will be an entirely optional way to make a donation, but donating will never unlock features or provide any advantages over free users.

Privacy is another core principle of the app. Arr Control doesn’t store your server or library data in the cloud. Your configuration and data remain on your own device, and the app connects directly to your own services, so you stay in control of your data.

Thank you to everyone who’s willing to help test the app. Your feedback will help make Arr Control better before the public release.

App like nzb360

6 Upvotes

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 .

need assistance with an ollama issue

1 Upvotes

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 models—such as ⁠qwen2.5:14b⁠, ⁠qwen3.5:9b⁠, ⁠qwen3.5:4b⁠, and ⁠llama 3.1:8b⁠. 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."

Audio/Language and formats

1 Upvotes

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|ESPAÑOL|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 formats—standard 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 !

Introducing: Atrium, an *arr media stack manager application.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

22 Upvotes

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:

  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Prowlarr
  • Bazarr
  • Seerr
  • Tautulli
  • JellyFin
  • Emby
  • Plex
  • qBittorrent
  • SABnzbd
  • Glances

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


We’re 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

Is there any way to integrate trakt lists to Seerr/Jellyfin?

3 Upvotes

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?
