I'm the founder of TRaSH-Guides, a complete collection of guides for Radarr, Sonarr, and related media management tools. These guides answer common questions and provide the best settings for your entire media server setup.
In addition to the main guides, I actively contribute to related projects and explore any topics that spark my interest within the media automation ecosystem.
The guides are developed in close collaboration with the Radarr and Sonarr development teams and serve as officially supported documentation that users are regularly directed to.
