I want to be able to search for content on my phone, then have it automatically downloaded and posted to plex, so that I don't have to fuck around so much every time I want to backup a show.

I am running Plex (on a TrueNAS Core box), Radarr, Sonarr, and QbitTorrent today. I have a preferred tracker.

What other apps do I need to make it easy to find out of a show is avaliable, automatically hand it off to Radarr/Sonarr then download it and move it to my NAS share then get Plex to refresh and tell me it's done?

I have prowlarr linked to my sonarr and radarr, and I use nzb360 on my phone. When away from home, I'm using a VPN tunnel to my network so I basically download a movie or series a minute after somebody recommended it.

You should also try overseerr or the cool new Reiverr.

Reiverr looks great, I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

As an alternative to the other options, you can use the watchlist feature within plex and have radarr/sonarr monitor it as a list

As atfergs said, Overseerr.

I have a lot of friends and family that stream from my Plex so I set up an Overseerr instance that is outward facing through a Cloudflared tunnel.

Overseerr uses Plex shared users to handle authentication and allows fine control of permissions per user.

It sends requests straight to Sonarr and Radarr to handle.

For people using jellyfin, Jellyseer is the fork of it and it works wonderfully.

My main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?

Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.

Does Overseerr do this?

Sonarr and Radarr can transfer your finished torrents and tell Plex to scan.

Under both services, go to Connect and add your Plex server. You can specify what triggers a scan.

Overseerr is basically a frontend that combines Sonarr and Radarr and allows you to share that access with friends and family so they can make requests.

Interesting. Ombi means I don't have to run docker. How do you like it?

You would probably enjoy Overseerr

I have Sonarr/Radarr set to monitor lists on trakt.tv

What ended up happening with all the massive security problems in the -arr programs that were used to take over all those VPSes, anyway?

[-] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

You're absolutely not to run them without a VPN or other authentication portal in front of them.

SABnzbd to handle the downloads

Overseerr works well for a search front end

Python script as api and watched folder qBittorent. This is what I have. Torrent site being TorrentGalaxy

If you got an Android device, I use NZB360, in conjunction with radar and sonar. I can monitor and search remotely on my server using that. Then sends it to Plex.
