Prowlarr and Jellyseerr are two tools you use together.

Prowlarr is an index manager, for Radarr and Sonarr. With Radarr and Sonarr, generally you’d have to provide individual indexes (in the case of torrents, trackers) for each individual instance of Radarr and Sonarr. With Prowlarr, you basically have a central database of trackers, organized by tags (like movies or TV shows), that will then feed that information to Radarr and Sonarr.

Jellyseerr is like the requesting interface. If you want to watch a show or movie, you place a request with Jellyseerr, that gets sent over to Radarr or Sonarr, and then either instance will then search for the content using the indexes provided by Prowlarr. Radarr or Sonarr will then begin the download, and then organize it within your media files.

I’m really just watching out for any upload speed increases. At this point, I don’t care about download speed increases, I just want upload speeds to increase. The only mention of it in that article is their plans to implement DOCSIS 4.0 later this year, which should increase upstream and downstream capacity. However, still no mention of how long it may take to be fully implemented.

I use Alpine Linux for my home server. I chose it cause it runs very well on my raspberry pi 4 NAS/media server. I can leave it running for a long time, and I won’t have issues with it. Pretty easy to install applications and run docker containers. Its very lightweight and efficient. The only issues I have with it is that sometimes packages won’t be available for me due to running an ARM CPU. Usage is slightly different than something like Ubuntu, slightly different commands and such. You’ll also have to install all the applications You’ll need. I only need SSH access to it, i don’t have a GUI or desktop for it.
