What apps/stack to automate grabbing content and adding it to Plex?
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.
My main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?
Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.
Sonarr and Radarr can transfer your finished torrents and tell Plex to scan.
Under both services, go to Connect and add your Plex server. You can specify what triggers a scan.
Overseerr is basically a frontend that combines Sonarr and Radarr and allows you to share that access with friends and family so they can make requests.
Why would you even give them that much access? By default, all they can do is check feeds from sites and forward links to your download client. I haven't heard of any of these vulnerabilities and a quick Google search finds nothing mentioning this.
It sounds like someone port forwarded a bunch of software and found out why that isn't a good idea (or necessary) the hard way.
It's pretty nice. It's just a very simple front that will add a series or movie to radarr or sonarr. Not great for discovering new stuff but the search works well to find stuff you're looking for. No complaints from my side!
