Prowlarr vs overserr/jellyserr (lemmy.world)

I have bought my first proper home server and am setting up a full stack of media services on truenas scale after years of doing everything manually. In that regard I have set up jellyfin, sabnzbd and radarr, and the next step is to add jellyserr it seems. But then I stumble across prowlarr and cannot figure out if it is a contender to or a supplement to jellyserr. Can somebody tell me what the difference is, if I should use both if they are complementing each other or which you are using if they are competing?

Thanks! So prowlarr is the only place my indexers should be configured. And sonarr and radarr should only be configured with downloaders?

If you're only intend to use Radarr you can set your NZB indexer there and your downloader.

If you plan to add more arr later like Sonarr you can use Prowlarr and just link it, and not have to configure your indexers again in Sonarr.

Honestly if you're using nzb you'll only really need the nzb indexer so it shouldn't be all that hard to set up in other programmes

I will be using sonarr and maybe others as well. I have set it up now. I liked prowlarr a lot. I have a language specific torrent site I have added to it and it seems like prowlarr is the only place I can select exactly which language to download.

I thought you could set that up in the "Profiles" option.

Yeah. Once you add indexer to prowlar it will be visible in radarr as well (also sonarr, lidarr, etc).

Jelyseerr is amazing GUI that you can use to grab media instead of logging in to radarr or sonarr.

I recommend both!
