Prowlarr
Indexer manager and proxy for torrent and Usenet PVR apps
Prowlarr is a self-hosted indexer manager and proxy from the *arr ecosystem. It centralizes configuration for torrent trackers and Usenet indexers and syncs them to supported PVR applications, reducing duplicated setup across tools.
Key Features
- Manages both Usenet indexers and torrent trackers, including Newznab and Torznab compatible sources
- Automatic indexer synchronization to supported apps (e.g., Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Mylar3)
- Custom indexer definitions via Cardigann-style YAML, including JSON and XML parsing
- Manual searching with category and parameter-based queries
- Indexer history, statistics, health checks, and status notifications
- Per-indexer proxy support (including SOCKS4/5 and HTTP), with support for common anti-bot proxy tooling
Use Cases
- Maintain one shared set of indexers for multiple *arr applications in a media automation stack
- Standardize and audit indexer configuration, health, and performance across a homelab
- Route indexer traffic through specific proxies per tracker/indexer for connectivity or access requirements
Prowlarr fits best alongside other *arr tools as the single source of truth for indexers, improving consistency and simplifying ongoing maintenance as your media setup grows.
