Prowlarr

Prowlarr is a indexer manager/proxy built on the popular arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports both Torrent Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required (we do it all).

After Prowlarr has been installed, it will be available for access at https://<hostname.ltd>/prowlarr.

Service Management​

The Prowlarr service is managed by systemd and has been configured for single user usage. You can find the service file here:

In order to get this thing working, you just need to connect your sources, and then connect your arr apps.

  • Add your indexers
    • Go to Indexers and add your sources
  • Add your arr Applications to push indexer definitions to
    • In Prowlarr, go to Settings -> Apps
    • Select the app to add
    • Append the baseurl to __arr server. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8989/sonarr for sonarr
    • Paste in the API key from said app (Open target app, browse to Settings -> General)

If you are not running Prowlarr as your master user, you can set the environment variable prowlarrOwner=<yourUser>before the update, and the migration will respect the choice.
