Oh thanks, I hadn't even noticed that. I did some research into *arr alternatives a few weeks ago. I found 3 and this one looked like it had the most features. I will look up the other two contenders again then.
Let me know if you find what they are - I'm interested in a solution like this anyhow too.
Found them:
The first one seems to be the most trust worthy, as it's nearly a year old and has sponsorship apparently from Digital Ocean. Might try that one. The UI isn't as pretty but it still seems much simpler than managing an Aar stack.
The second one is also young, but programmed mostly in a language I hadn't heard about (Elixer).
