Hey all,

I’ve been using requestarr via Discord for the past year or so to have a remote user request option for my *arr stack.

Looking to move away from Discord completely and have been having trouble finding an alternate that would run on a more FOSS or secure platform. I run discovarr my local users but I’m hesitant to post that up as a web app for external access.

Does anybody around here know of a program or app or container even that would provide similar or replacement functionality via Matrix or signal or something of the like?

Thanks!

    Since I see no replies yet, I’ll give a sort of answer. I use Overseerr and my own self hosted domain name with Cloudns so that I can let my friends/family connect to it remotely to request stuff.

    It sounds like it’s definitely not 1:1 with what you’re asking for since it only does sonarr and radarr and is not something accessible from messengers, but figured I’d mention it because it’s been great for me. I use it for myself to add new stuff as well so I never have to go into the individual sonarr/radarr instances to add stuff.

      Thank you for the suggestion! I could try and see if my user pool would give that a shot but, I have some pretty tech illiterate people using my services.

      My partner has embraced overseer though so it’s been a win in the acceptance stack in that regard. . since they don’t use Discord

        If you are using Plex, you can also configure jellyseerr to monitor the Plex watchlist and it will then auto-grab any missing media via sonarr and radarr. That way they potentially don’t have to learn any new software. Not sure if overseerr can also do that as I haven’t used it, but may also be an option.
