Yea they announced it months ago, but the first release of seerr just dropped today.

I hate how fragmented they are. I've given up on various guides out there for 'setting up the arr stack' because of getting bogged down in since miniature detail that, IMHO, shouldn't even be a thing. I get that hosting seperate services has advantages. But the disadvantage of giving up on the whole thing because you have to sort out networking and file permission issues between the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour outweighs those advantages.

Maybe thats by design. Some sort of gate keeping

I'll be honest, only the first setup gave me some trouble as I was tackling docker compose too. After you gain familiarity setting up a new arr is basically copying the provided yaml service then filling in the envs with yours

Media requester for Plex and Jellyfin. But also tells you where things are streaming. A mix between IMDB and JustWatch.

Overseer was for Plex
Jellyseer was for Jellyfin

Now we have Seer one platform to do both.

If you just host for yourself, you don’t gain that much by using Seerr, besides having a nicer UI and you have more search filters compared to Sonarr and Radarr.

However, if you have multiple users, you benefit a lot of it. Users, which have individual user accounts, can request media. Depending on the configuration, those requests have to be accepted manually, which gives you a way to still be in control of what ends up on your server. The user then gets notified about what has happened and if the media was downloaded.

The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.

No kidding! Copy and paste the contents of the previous container to a new directory for the new container, sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /path/to/new/directory, docker pull the new image, and Bob's your uncle. I'm so relieved I didn't have to reconfigure all the *arr integrations and whatnot within the web GUI all over again

It's a beautiful UI for requesting content where you don't go into the details of arrs. Great if you have other family members you want to allow to request things.

Basically yes. My father can log into Overseer with his Plex account, so no new account and password, and request movies or tv shows which I can approve manually or pre-approve. I don't have to give him admin access to my Sonarr or Radarr and the user interface is quite friendly.

Also great for finding trending content, ratings, trailers, and also all the work an actor/actress has done.

Yes.

This is a requesting client.

What you want is solved by torrenting (and other) clients.
