Existing content preserved and reordered to the canonical section order; missing sections generated from each stack's compose data (ports, volumes, env vars, image links). Fixes copy-paste errors in Dockhand sections (qbittorrent pointed at archivebox; invokeai/thunderbird said SERVICENAME) and persistant->persistent typos in gatus.

Prowlarr
Overview
Prowlarr is an indexer manager and proxy for the *arr ecosystem. It centralizes your torrent tracker and Usenet indexer configuration — add them once in Prowlarr and they sync automatically to Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr. It's a modern replacement for Jackett with a unified API and built-in sync.
Project Details
- Project Repository: https://prowlarr.com/
- Container Image: ghcr.io/hotio/prowlarr
- Reverse Proxy Port:
9696
Getting Started
Open http://localhost:9696 in your browser and complete the initial setup wizard:
- Choose your UI language
- Add an indexer — search or manually configure your preferred trackers/usenet providers
- *Connect your arr apps — go to Settings → Apps and add Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, etc. Prowlarr will automatically sync all configured indexers to them
- If you're migrating from Jackett, Prowlarr can import your existing indexer configs during setup
Download flow
Prowlarr does not handle downloads. It only provides indexer search results to your *arr apps — they in turn send downloads to qBittorrent, SABnzbd, etc.
