We're excited to announce a major update: the Jellyseerr and Overseerr teams are officially merging into a single team called Seerr. This unification marks an important step forward as we bring our efforts together under one banner.

For users, this means one shared codebase combining all existing Overseerr functionalities with the latest Jellyseerr features, along with Jellyfin and Emby support, allowing us to deliver updates more efficiently and keep the project moving forward.

Please check how to migrate to Seerr in our migration guide and stay tuned for more updates on the project!

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.

I hate how fragmented they are. I've given up on various guides out there for 'setting up the arr stack' because of getting bogged down in since miniature detail that, IMHO, shouldn't even be a thing. I get that hosting seperate services has advantages. But the disadvantage of giving up on the whole thing because you have to sort out networking and file permission issues between the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour outweighs those advantages.

Ikr like... Give me a docker compose file and tell me what env vars need to be set to what. Why is it so complicated?

Completely agree. If the *arr stack had environment variables for key settings, I'm sure we'd see Compose files instead of TRaSH how-to guides. It's frustrating everything is configured in the GUI.
