        I mean it is clear that it’s an aggregator (? Not sure what the right term is for this) but I can’t even begin to count the number of times I access Radarr instead of Sonarr because I forgot which one is for shows or movies.

        Prowlarr is way more intuitive at least.

            IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.

            (No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)

              Here’s a very old flow chart I made for some folks that didn’t want to use Linux. Though it mostly applies to any serup

              Flowchart? Try googling it maybe. I’m not sure if there is anything useful, but it’s worth a query. The site Atherel posted has some guides that might be useful in general information and more detailed installation and configuration.

              If you want movies you use Radarr, and if you want TV Shows you use Sonarr. And if you want either of those to use torrent sites to find things rather than Usenet, you setup Prowlarr to convert from those random sites into the format Radarr and Sonarr support.

              There are others, but that’s a place to start.

              Why would you need a flowchart? You go to the Servarr wiki and pick the ones that sound nice. It’s pretty easy to understand what each one does because, you know, they tell you in plain English.

              All you actually need are sonarr (tv) radarr (movies) overseer (request management) and prowlarr (indexer management) you don’t actually need the last two.

              For the purposes of this explanation sonarr and radarr are the same, but keep in mind that sonarr only does tv shows and radarr only does movies

              You tell sonarr what you want to watch --> sonarr tells prowlarr what you want to watch --> prowlarr will search websites for magnet links to your show (you have to specify which websites) --> prowlarr will give the download manager (qbittorrent, etc) the magnet link and it will download it --> sonarr will take the downloaded file and copy it somewhere else for organizational purposes --> media server (jellyfin) will see the copied file and download associated metadata (thumbnail, episode name, episode number, etc) and allow you to watch it

              The only programs you need for a purely functional arr stack are sonarr/radarr, prowlarr, qbittorrent, and jellyfin, or any other media server. Anything else is purely icing on the cake
