A full *arr suite is composed of many apps that all talk to each other to automate your life. This is what they are and what they do:

  • Prowlarr - this keeps track of indexers (sites that search for content) and manages their settings to pass them along to other apps
  • Radarr - app for managing movies
  • Sonarr - app for managing tv shows
  • Unpackerr - while not an official arr, still super useful for when you get .rar content and need it to be unzipped/unpacked
  • qBittorrent - download client for torrents
  • Emby/Plex/Jellyfin - media servers so u can watch your stuff on multiple devices
  • Flaresolverr - an app that helps us get to indexers which are protected by cloudflare
  • Jellyseerr - a single interface for both radarr/sonarr which also does recommendations
  • Recyclarr - a command line tool to sync TrashGuides to Radarr/Sonarr
  • Cloudflare - provider for a fully qualified domain name as well as tunnels to route traffic to your server
  • AirVPN - VPN to protect your identity while torrenting
  • Bazarr - provides subtitles in case they are missing
  • Tdarr - transcodes files on  your harddrive into h.265 to conserve space
  • Huntarr - finds missing and upgrades low quality media
  • Wizarr - creates invites to media server for users
