Composarr

Composarr is a comprehensive repository that offers a quickstart solution to set up an 'arr-stack', aiming to streamline and optimize your media management processes. It combines multiple tools to provide seamless management of media content, from selecting and indexing to downloading, transcoding, and finally streaming.

Features:

• Media Selection: Using Overseerr, you can easily choose the media content you wish to add to your collection.
• Indexer Management: Prowlarr handles and syncs your indexers.
• Media Requests: Sonarr and Radarr receive requests from Overseerr and relay them to qBittorrent for downloading.
• Downloading: qBittorrent fetches the requested torrents and relocates them to a designated folder.
• Transcoding: Tdarr inspects the download folder, queues media for transcoding, and upon completion, shifts them to Plex media folders for streaming.
• Captchas: Flaresolverr allows you to bypass captchas of public torrent indexers.
• Self-Updating: Watchtower automatically updates all your services and keeps your containers up-to-date and secure.
• Anonymous: Gluetun provides a secure network layer for downloading. (Warning! Not all services are using this layer by default. Sonarr and Radarr are currently optional)
• Self-Configuring: Recyclarr automatically syncs the newest media filters into your services to prevent low-quality media from appearing in your requests.
• Statistics: Tautulli provides insights into your Plex usage.

Harness the capabilities of all these features, setting up a powerful media stack with ease!
