8. Seerr

Installation

Sweet now we have our indexers setups, our downloading clients and we created quality profiles. Then now it is time to bring it all together with Seerr. Seerr allows users to request movies and tv shows from a beautiful webgui that even your grandmother can use. It is so simple you just search for a piece of media, click on request and the whole process happens in the background ;) 

Note! Make sure you set the owner of the seerconfig folder to the PUID and PGID you specified in your docker compose file ;)

1. So to configure Seer we simply go to ARRVM-IP:4011

2. Then it will straight up ask you to login with Jellyfin, Emby or Plex. Choose Jellyfin because duhhh,

3. Log in with your public Jellyfin SSL address and port 443 

4. Then sync your libraries e.g movies and tv shows libraries

5. Then click on run manual library scan

6. Then continue

7. Then add your Radarr credentials by filling in the Radarr API key. You can find this by going to your Radarr instance > Settings > General and scroll down where you will find the API key. 

8. Choose a quality profile. For me 1080p is more than enough but if you want SD you can of course do this

9. Choose the root folder which will pop down automatically after you have clicked on test

10. Minimum availability: You can leave this to announced ;) Then people can already request a movie that is not released yet or in cinemas. Obviously they will have to wait until that movie comes available which can take some time. But the users will get a notification once the movie finally came available.

11. Also Enable scan: Scan Radarr for existing media and request status so users cannot request content already available

12. Then do the exact same steps for Sonarr.

13. Perfect then from now on your Jellyfin users can also log into Seerr and request movies and tv shows. Once, they request a movie/show it will automatically trigger radarr/sonarr and download the media according to your quality preferences. 

User Request Limitations

14. Now, it is wise to let your users only request 1 movie a day and maybe one show a week. In this way you can keep your resources controlled and predictable.
