Prowlarr — an indexer manager for the *arr media stack: configure your torrent and Usenet indexers once and Prowlarr syncs them to Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and friends, with search and stats. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent config volume.
Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume:
prowlarr_config
restic
# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first: # export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>" # export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>" # export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key> AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret> restic backup \ /var/lib/docker/volumes/prowlarr_config/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/prowlarr_config/_data backup:<bucket>/prowlarr_config
Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Add indexers, then link the sonarr / radarr packs under Settings > Apps so Prowlarr pushes indexers to
them (co-located apps are reachable on 127.0.0.1). Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse proxy for TLS.
Only use indexers you're entitled to. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
