Hi,
First of all I'm not a native English speaker, sorry in advance.
A few months ago I installed radarr and didn't understand how to use it. I thought I would have to buy a seedbox of 300gb+ to download at least a few movies. I gave up and uninstalled Radarr.
A few days ago I was searching for some form of selfhosted movie-downloader and I found Radarr and I thought I would give it another shot.
This time, I did some more research and knew what all the functions did. So I set up a server with Radarr, jackett (for getting the movies) and Qbittorrent(-nox). It worked seamless! I really like it that you can search for a movie and it I'll download automatically! Today I also installed Sonarr!
So now that I understand how to use Radarr+sonarr I love it and I think it makes it a lot easier to download movies, organise them and import them into Jellyfin. I also installed Jellyseerr, so my friends can request movies they want. Still have to test that.
Do you guys have recommendations to enhance the media setup?
