The Ultimate Automated Media Setup for Movies & TV Shows

Radarr, much like Sonarr, is very simple to setup and requires minor configuration once installed. The configuration for Radarr is also available via a web browser at http://localhost:7878. The wiki for the project has great documentation that should be able to get you going.

Installing Radarr, Sonarr and Deluge on your Unraid Server

Radarr is another open source software solution that I recommend installing. Radarr is a fork of Sonarr for media content that Radarr doesn't support. Similarly to Sonarr automates the downloading and organisation of this content. Radarr will download requested content as soon as it's available in your desired quality.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
The Overseer part In truth, I'm less familiar with and it's full feature set, But at a quick glance it looks like it would be similar to ombi (https://ombi.io/). I know for a fact that you can set up OMBI to let users just type in stuff and it will grab it for them. I didn't like that and opted to manually approve requests. Source: 10 months ago
This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....
Now add Ombi so that shared plex users have the ability to request content by themselves. Source: 12 months ago
Plex, sonarr, and radarr have saved my sanity... and ruined my gaming computer at the same time
Now pipe that all through ombi and you will live like a king! Also, don't forget to add your watchlist from plex to radarr and sonarr. Source: about 1 year ago

LPT: You can set up a free VPN server on your router to watch Netflix as if you are at home
I use Jellyfin to host my media and Ombi for users to request media. Ombi sends user requests to Radarr for movies, and Sonarr for TV shows. Source: about 1 year ago

Gzip compression questions for 2 use cases
I use Nginx for Sonarr/Radarr would I see any general performance benefit when loading their webpages in general? If so, what level of compression would be ideal for this case? Source: 9 months ago

There may be better places, since I've just stuck to the same one for years now (and don't need them often enough to look into alternatives), but I usually use either subscene or opensubtitles. There are also programs that can automate it like bazarr, but it requires you to also use Sonarr/Radarr. Source: 10 months ago

- Sonarr & Radarr for sailing the sea / keeping those media libraries growing ( https://sonarr.tv/, https://radarr.video/ ). Source: 11 months ago
Best programs to use alongside Plex?
Two instances of Radarr (one for 4K and one for everything else) running on one of my Linux servers. Source: 11 months ago
Mixture of local and streaming possible?
Jellyfin doesn’t download movies. I think you want Radarr for that. Unless you mean that your Jellyfin server is somewhere else other than the cabin and you’re connecting to Jellyfin remotely from your cabin, in which case yeah you’d probably have to wait for it to download/buffer which could take a while.
