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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Why? It's a brand at this point and lets you know exactly what its about.
There's more *arr tools that aren't aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.
Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, "radar", "lidar". Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.
I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.
To be fair, jellyseerr is a fork of overseerr focused on jellyfin, so the name at least makes sense.
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.
Did you mean aggrrrregator?
What is a brand? "Sonarr"? Never heard that.
*arr services are well known in the self hosted community

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
Sorry, I tried but I couldn't figure out how to use Flowcharr-t.
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.
