The setup and instructions helped a lot with setting up. My library is small and local now but the future is bright. Thank you all for writing info answers and docs.
Special thanks for all the devs of Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Torrent clients and nzb360.
Extra special thanks to the devs at Jellyfin. Honestly this whole set blew my mind.
You might like Reiverr it’s “a clean combined interface for Jellyfin, TMDB, Radarr and Sonarr, as well as a replacement to Overseerr” and it’s made by a Lemmy user
This looks very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
what even is a media stack im so confused
A stack is the pile of software that builds on other software to get something done. I’m here from /local so I don’t know what any of these programs are, but for example the classic website server “stack” is LAMP : Linux, Apache (web server software), MySql (database software), PHP (backend website language).
oh cool so if i ran nextcloud id need all that?
I’ve never heard of it before (remember I’m just passing through this community) but it looks like they have a docker container available. You would probably only need to install docker on your server, then get the next cloud docker container, and run it. The container (probably) has a web server and database and stuff built in.
I use rdtclient, Prowlarr, Radarr, Sonarr and Emby (considering the switch to JF). Because I am using rdtclient with RealDebrid, no VPN is required. Because I use Prowlarr I only have to use prowlarr to connect to rdtclient. Sonarr and Radarr use prowlarrs indexers and rdtclient connection. Simpler setup.
There is also another “combined” service like your mentioned one called Bobarr.
Stremio with torrentio has replaced the whole Arr stack for me
I have both setups (arr stack and stremio+torrentio), here my opinion.
Where stremio falls short is:
-
cast integration: semi works with chrome cast, but when using torrentio I just cant get it to work. I need to get into screen mirroring, which is less than ideal. Not to mention it doesn’t work with Roku/DIAL protocol.
-
proprietary and closed- source. It will not take long until MPAA-eye will look at it and try to curtail it (eg. going after torre ntio or other addons).
I like it, but I prefer to control my destiny, so I keep my arr stack always close.
Stremio is not proprietary and closed source. It’s open source and you can find all the code for client applications and server on their GitHub account - https://github.com/Stremio
You’re right! My bad. I did search for it, but couldn’t find on their web site, but the code doesn’t seems to have everything. I can’t find the Android app source.

EDIT: I know see what sub I am in, and apologize. It was just a simple question.
Is there a similar guide for Plex that someone can point me to? I’ve always been interested in the arr services, and would like to try them out.
