Description

Prowlarr is a centralized indexer manager for the Arr suite. Instead of configuring indexers separately in Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr, you configure them once in Prowlarr and it syncs them to all connected apps.

Installation

Prowlarr is available as a one-click install from your Bytesized dashboard.

Getting Started

After installation, access Prowlarr through the link on your dashboard:

  1. Add your indexers under Indexers (torrent trackers, Usenet providers)
  2. Connect your Arr apps under Settings > Apps (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr)
  3. Prowlarr will automatically sync indexers to all connected apps

Default Paths

Setting Path
Config ~/.config/Prowlarr/

Tips and Tricks

Replacing Jackett

Prowlarr is the recommended replacement for Jackett. It offers deeper integration with the Arr apps, including automatic sync and search capabilities that Jackett does not provide.

Testing Indexers

Use the search function in Prowlarr to test your indexers directly before relying on them in your Arr apps.
