I want to be able to search for content on my phone, then have it automatically downloaded and posted to plex, so that I don’t have to fuck around so much every time I want to backup a show.

I am running Plex (on a TrueNAS Core box), Radarr, Sonarr, and QbitTorrent today. I have a preferred tracker.

What other apps do I need to make it easy to find out of a show is avaliable, automatically hand it off to Radarr/Sonarr then download it and move it to my NAS share then get Plex to refresh and tell me it’s done?

    I have prowlarr linked to my sonarr and radarr, and I use nzb360 on my phone. When away from home, I’m using a VPN tunnel to my network so I basically download a movie or series a minute after somebody recommended it.

    You should also try overseerr or the cool new Reiverr.

    As atfergs said, Overseerr.

    I have a lot of friends and family that stream from my Plex so I set up an Overseerr instance that is outward facing through a Cloudflared tunnel.

    Overseerr uses Plex shared users to handle authentication and allows fine control of permissions per user.

    It sends requests straight to Sonarr and Radarr to handle.

    What ended up happening with all the massive security problems in the -arr programs that were used to take over all those VPSes, anyway?

    As an alternative to the other options, you can use the watchlist feature within plex and have radarr/sonarr monitor it as a list
