Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

There was no reason for this in the first place in my opinion. The ONLY positive use I can see would be managing the whole arr stack from one place, but I imagine you would still need to manage individual shows\movies\whathaveyou if it wasn't found in the first place.

I have my stacks set up to auto upgrade and find missing stuff already. It's literally built into their programming. I manage them individually and anything that isn't found on my indexers I typically go out and find manually as needed (old or very obscure media).

Not really sure what this bought anyone at all other than an extra layer of convenience?

And Seerr will kinda manage at least Radarr and Sonarr requests for you. I barely touch those now that they're configured. I did always find it odd that Sonarr and Radarr were separate apps. Lidarr and Readarr I could see.
