Prowlarr

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Prowlarr is the *centralized indexer manager for the Arr stack** — configure your indexers (NZB, torrent, Usenet) once in Prowlarr, push the config to Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr automatically. Modern replacement for Jackett with native protocol support.

If you have multiple *Arr apps and configured indexers in each manually, Prowlarr deletes that pain.

What it's for

  • Indexer centralization — manage 10+ indexers in one place
  • Multi-app push — same indexer config across Sonarr + Radarr + Lidarr + Readarr
  • Indexer health monitoring — alerts on indexer failures
  • Search testing — verify indexer responses without grabbing
  • Stats + history — track grab success rates per indexer

Who it's for

  • Self-hosted media stack operators running 2+ *Arr apps
  • Indexer-heavy users with private tracker memberships
  • Power users managing 5-20 indexers across protocols
  • Multi-user households with shared *Arr stack
  • *Arr-stack newcomers wanting the modern setup

Why teams pick Prowlarr over alternatives

  • GPLv3 — fully open
  • *Native Arr protocol** — auto-push config (Jackett requires manual sync)
  • Multi-app architecture — designed for multi-*Arr deployments
  • Modern UI — same as Sonarr v4+ visually
  • Active development — frequent releases
  • Replaces Jackett — clean migration path

Integrations

  • Sonarr v4+ / Radarr v4+ / Lidarr / Readarr — primary push targets
  • Indexers — NZB (Newznab), torrent (Torznab), Usenet, FlareSolverr-protected
  • FlareSolverr — bypass Cloudflare on protected indexers
  • Notifications — Discord, Telegram, custom webhook
  • API — REST API for programmatic indexer mgmt
  • Indexer health — automatic disable on persistent failure
  • Categories — auto-mapped to *Arr apps based on type

Tips & operations

  • Migrate from Jackett — Prowlarr has Jackett import tool; one-time migration
  • App URLs for push — use http://sonarr:8989 if all on same Docker network
  • *API keys for each Arr app** — needed to register them with Prowlarr
  • Categories matter — set per-indexer; Prowlarr maps them to *Arr apps
  • FlareSolverr for Cloudflare — install separately if any indexer needs it
  • Backup /config — indexer configs + API keys
