Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

We're excited to announce a major update: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are officially merging into a single team called Seerr. This unification marks an important step forward as we bring our efforts together under one banner.

For users, this means one shared codebase combining all existing Overseerr functionalities with the latest Jellyseerr features, along with Jellyfin and Emby support, allowing us to deliver updates more efficiently and keep the project moving forward.

Please check how to migrate to Seerr in our migration guide and stay tuned for more updates on the project!

This is a requesting client.

What you want is solved by torrenting (and other) clients.

But you connect it to a torrent client, right?

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not exactly. This is just a requesting frontend that can be accessed with either Plex/Jellyfin account or a custom one. Seer then has a contact with Radarr and Sonarr to automate their searches of media. Radarr and Sonarr is what is connected to a downloading client (either torrenting client, usenet or seedbox).

One can skip Seer and just use Radarr and Sonarr as is.

Alright, I'll have to give it a go then. Thanks.

Sonarr/Radarr? Yes.
