Thanks for the suggestion! I don't quite understand what prowlearr adds over just adding multiple indexers to Sonarr/radar?
It allows for managing indexer/tracker from only one place for all *arrs. I usually set the apps to "Full Sync", so I never change anything in each of the apps (e.g. radarr).
It also provides some statistics, like how many file grabs each indexer gave you compared to others. This might help to decide which of the paid ones are actually useful (useful for usenet indexer).
If your not resource constrained (e.g. rpi), I'd recommend prowlarr. It makes things more streamlined imo.
I'm not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr's I couldn't work out the point of Prowlarr.
Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn't slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.
My point was mostly about the added RAM usage if running prowlarr (or any other additional web server). It's probably not an issue with Pi4s since they have more RAM. I've seen prowlarr use quite a bit CPU while syncing, but that was only for a short time.
So it's probably save to ignore my comment.
