Prowlarr vs overserr/jellyserr (lemmy.world)

I have bought my first proper home server and am setting up a full stack of media services on truenas scale after years of doing everything manually. In that regard I have set up jellyfin, sabnzbd and radarr, and the next step is to add jellyserr it seems. But then I stumble across prowlarr and cannot figure out if it is a contender to or a supplement to jellyserr. Can somebody tell me what the difference is, if I should use both if they are complementing each other or which you are using if they are competing?

Jellyseerr is the front end to download movies, the thing that get shown to you or your users, then it uses radarr and sonnarr to get movies and, radarr and sonnar then get the movie using torrent providers in prowlarr, then they send the torrent to qbittorrent or another bittorrent client.

Also, Jellyseerr is awesome when all of this is working perfectly!

theyre not contenders, they all work in unisson! even tho you can skip using Jellyseerr and get your movies on sonarr or radarr, but their UI is crap and confusing tbh...

I have radarr working fine in combination with sabnzb (i am on usenet instead of torrenting). What does prowlarr do in between them?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If you are only using usenet then prowlarr will do nothing. Prowlarr aggregates torrent indexers and searches them for your request

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

That is not correct. Prowlarr also searches Newznab-compatible providers (i.e. most nzb-indexers).

Ah thanks! I have a specialist (Norwegian language) torrent site I couln't get working in radarr. I have to give prowlarr a go then!
