Prowlarr

Prowlarr is an indexer manager/proxy built on the popular *arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports management of both Torrent Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Lidarr, Mylar3, Radarr, Readarr, and Sonarr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required (we do it all).

Initial Setup

First you must connect to your slot via ssh. If you need help connecting to the server, please read the help article here.

Installing Prowlarr is easy. Simply issue the following command:

box install prowlarr

This command will configure Prowlarr for your user.

How to Access

On initial launch it is critical that you use the same login credentials AND set authentication to "Forms based" logins when asked to setup credentials!

After Prowlarr has been installed, it will be available for access at https://<hostname.io>/prowlarr.

Service Management

Like all box configured applications, you can manage Prowlarr via SSH with box with start, stop, restart, enable and disable commands.

Configuration

Out of the box, Prowlarr comes with very little configuration. Following are some basic tasks to help get your client up and running:

Add a new Indexer

1. At the top, click Add Indexer.
2. Type the name of the indexer you want to add
3. Enter the appropriate details

Connect download clients

First, navigate to the settings page in the sidebar, then click "Download Clients". Client specific info is available below. You may need to know your subnet to configure correctly. You may retrieve this by following the below tip or by going to the general menu in prowlarr, clicking "show advanced", then look at the bind address.

Tip

To get your subnet IP, SSH into your server and run:

cat ~/.install/subnet.lock

To add a download client, go to Settings > Download Client. Make sure Advanced Settings are shown and click Add Client.
