What would you suggest for a prowlarr replacement when you get rid of it? And what would be the reason for getting rid of it? Just curious since I use prowlarr.

I initially set it up because both sonarr and radarr were making their own api calls to indexers and I would get some “daily max exceeded” for certain sites. The idea was that if one host made the calls instead of 2, I wouldn’t get rate limited as much.

Now I only have my nzb and pb indexers, the first has no such limits because I pay for it, and the second is only used as a second priority, so I don’t really hit limits anymore.

If you have a bunch of arr services, this is useful. But I only have the two, so I don’t think it’s much work to set indexers up individually.

Edit: this ^^ is my suggestion. Add the indexers manually.

Ahhh ok. I mainly just run lidarr, sonarr and radarr. I do pay for an nzb subscription as well, so yeah dont really need prowlarr for that. I do use torrents as well though. I’ll probably keep prowlarr as is at least for now as its all setup and stays out of the way. Thanks for answering.

Wow that’s a lot of things!

To me, it’s a good stack. A lot of ppl have lower numbers than this, but then they set up a VM with docker and just run 12 extra things there. :P

Dont some bigger servers come with an onboard sbc for management and stuff (eg. Dell’s idrac)?

Yeah. I have a dell r430 sitting unused and a supermicro xeon-d board, both have a BMC.

It’s really nice to have, but server stuff is expensive and power hungry.

Plus, I’ve shifted my way of looking at the setup where I’d rather it just default to starting back up properly. Even if I have a failed disk, if I’m away there’s nothing incan do about it until I’m physically back.

I’m almost 30yrs in it/devops/infosec and I’m no longer interested in owning an excavator just because I can.
