Huntarr2
Too good not to share.
Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't.

What is/was huntarr? I love posts without any context.

I guess it was supposed to be a successor to the *arr stack (radarr, lidarr , sonarr, etc). If you’re not familiar, they automate the downloading & organization process for movies, music, and tv.

I’m sure a successor will come around when room forms for them, I don’t know of a reason any of the core *arr stack should need one. If you know of one don’t hesitate to share, I’m just not really aware of any, they are awesome to me.

I don’t run 'arr anything, but that’s pretty wild.
Yeesh, in the hour since this has been posted the developer has:
- Made the /r/huntarr subreddit private
- Wiped and deleted their Reddit account
- Deleted the GitHub repo for Huntarr

Looks like Huntarr’s presence on Github is suddenly gone and their sub went private.

I’m not so much worried about ‘vibe coding’ as long as the dev actually knows the validity of the code presented in the LLM. At that point, the LLM becomes the assistant, not the dev itself. However, if I were to speculate, this dev team didn’t, got called on it, didn’t know how to respond or validate the code, so they closed up shop.

Exposing any of the Arr stack to the internet is just bad practice in general IMO but bad actors will always be out there so it’s even more of a reason to practice good security.
I used huntarr for a minute and found it utterly useless. Didn’t trigger searches like it said it was doing. Uninstalled it after about 5 minutes.

That is some wild shit. Anyways for anyone else somewhat new to all this: when hosting anything, try to stick to reputable projects 1st and be always wary of shady installation tactics (I believe yesterday someone posted about curl bash. This is just a single example). If you want to try something new (as in brand new project), try it isolated 1st on some VM (proxmox helps a lot with this). When you are confident and more people give an approval, then think about putting on the main environment

One of the first things I look for are longevity, last updated/activity, and then I look at the issues posted and responses. I like mature apps because I don’t possess the intelligence to audit code.

curl bash is not as bad as people think. Nobody downloads and reverse engineers binary packages off of these websites before running them with the same permissions.

This developed further. Better be done with it and stay safe. Read the linked reddit thread for info.

I’m desperate for a community driven review system for open source. We’re drowning in vibe-coded slop, and I honestly don’t have the time or a good slop detector to audit every tool I download. I know I should be checking under the hood, but the sheer volume of low-quality projects makes it impossible to keep up
