      There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.

      Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.

      I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

        To be fair, jellyseerr is a fork of overseerr focused on jellyfin, so the name at least makes sense.

      I mean it is clear that it’s an aggregator (? Not sure what the right term is for this) but I can’t even begin to count the number of times I access Radarr instead of Sonarr because I forgot which one is for shows or movies.

      Prowlarr is way more intuitive at least.

          IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.

          (No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)

            Here’s a very old flow chart I made for some folks that didn’t want to use Linux. Though it mostly applies to any serup

            If you want movies you use Radarr, and if you want TV Shows you use Sonarr. And if you want either of those to use torrent sites to find things rather than Usenet, you setup Prowlarr to convert from those random sites into the format Radarr and Sonarr support.

            There are others, but that’s a place to start.
