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?

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

      The other person is wrong. Your Usenet indexers will work on prowlarr. The most important feature that Prowlarr has that gets overlooked is that it will sync your indexers into the other arr programs like radarr sonarr, lidarr, etc… automatically. You make a change on prowlarr it syncs to them all. It’s the ideal solution for managing indexers all in one place.

        Thanks! So prowlarr is the only place my indexers should be configured. And sonarr and radarr should only be configured with downloaders?
