You can even give the link for the *arr apps so your SO can add all the movies, tv shows and music they want. I saved them on her phone, in Firefox it's add to home screen. Chrome should be similar. Probably best to make it only accessible via LAN unless you have a good reason to need it outside of your home.

Do you include Jellyseerr in your definition of *arr apps, because it's more of an *err or even *rr.

But Jellyseerr/Overseerr are the main apps I would give someone non tech savvy to be able to add their own media.

I find a key part is setting up notifications so that they know when a request is available.

I'm not using either of those. I just showed the family how to search and add in sonarr/radarr and lidarr.

I didn’t know about those, I mainly use nzb360 on android to do the whole requesting and such.

I got prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, homeassistant, archies steam farm, actual budget and bitwarden all hosted on my server. And organizr to have a nice homepage for it all.

I use the nzb360 app for android which makes it very user friendly. She wouldn’t dabble with the ui’s and is the kind of person to use her phone for everything and doesn’t want to use pc’s.

I downloaded that to give it a try. Even as the person that set everything up, I'm really liking having everything in one app, and the popular now page reminds me of rarbg ☹️ helping to find new stuff to watch.

Yeah, I stopped browsing trakt and imdb and just rely on that app for discovery. (And requests from the gf). It made my "managing" work a lot lighter and more fun.

Even better, run overseerr and put it behind a reverse proxy.
