Prowlarr

What it is

Prowlarr is an indexer manager/proxy that centralizes indexer configuration for Radarr/Sonarr/etc.

Why I use it

To keep a single source of truth for indexers and API keys while feeding multiple apps.

How it integrates in my stack

• Feeds indexers to Radarr/Sonarr/Readarr via the Prowlarr API.
• Shares /config for backups.

Key features / config choices

• Runs with PUID/PGID to match NAS permissions.
• Logging capped via json-file options.
• All secrets live in .env.

Security & backup

• Keep API keys in the app UI; configs are backed up via NAS/B2.
• Do not publish indexer URLs or keys.

Ports

• 9696/tcp → Web UI
