Given it’s a suite of tools designed specifically to download copyrighted content, why are you surprised that descriptions are coy and elusive?
Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr

I hate how so many of the arr apps don’t describe what they do in a way that people who don’t already know can understand.
Even the tutorials and guides are frustratingly vague.

Is it for downloading illegal content? i can’t tell
I assume some of it is related to torrenting, but I can’t tell which ones and how much. They can’t all be for torrenting, right???

They’re all for downloading copyrighted content or for performing auxiliary functions to downloading copyrighted content (e.g. Bazaar downloads subtitle files, which aren’t copyrighted), not for torrenting specifically. You can use Usenet clients or torrent clients as backend.

I’ll be honest, only the first setup gave me some trouble as I was tackling docker compose too. After you gain familiarity setting up a new arr is basically copying the provided yaml service then filling in the envs with yours

ok, but why do I want to use this? what does it do? what is its purpose?

The arr stack is for downloading media in an automated matter, for example sonarr will scan the inderxers you give them for the series you want and automatically download them. Then you can use a service like jellyfin to watch your media

I’m aware of what the arr stack is for generally, but not with overseerr and jellyseerr

I am very familiar with a decent amount of the words used in this comment.

I agree it took many months to figure out my arr stack and the configuration with API keys and server ip addresses. I used countless resources and guides and it didn’t help. Now I can do a fresh install of jellyfin and the arr stack in less than an hour after finally figuring it out but wow was it a hard learning curve. I have paper notes trying to decode which tools does what I was so confused

Maybe thats by design. Some sort of gate keeping
