What it is

• Uses /data shared storage so completed downloads appear in Plex.
• Pulls indexers from Prowlarr.

Key features / config choices

• PUID/PGID set for correct file ownership.
• Separate /config for easy backup/restore.

Security & backup

• Redacted credentials stay out of git.
• Config included in NAS → Backblaze backup policy.

Ports
