Prowlarr on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Prowlarr is an open source indexer manager and proxy for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It centralises the definitions of your indexers and trackers in one place, tests and manages them, runs searches across all of them at once from a single screen, and pushes those indexers out to the apps that consume them, so you configure an indexer once in Prowlarr rather than repeating the work in Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr and Readarr. A clean web interface gives you a history and search view, per indexer statistics and health checks, while a documented version 1 REST API exposes the same capability for automation.

It suits anyone self hosting a media automation stack: a single point of indexer management feeding the *arr apps, a searchable proxy across many trackers, and an auditable, API driven indexer layer running inside their own cloud account.

Common uses

• A single point of indexer management feeding Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr and Readarr
• A searchable proxy that queries many indexers and trackers at once
• An API driven indexer layer running inside your own cloud account
