Service catalog¶
Maraudarr resolves required companions, but it does not decide which optional capabilities are valuable to you.
VPN and discovery¶
| Service | Role | Add it when |
|---|---|---|
| Privateerr | Generates PIA WireGuard configuration and metadata. | You use PIA WireGuard with Gluetun. |
| Gluetun | Runs the VPN tunnel and port-forwarding integration. | Selected download clients need a VPN namespace. |
| Prowlarr | Centralizes indexer configuration. | Radarr/Sonarr/Whisparr should share indexers. |
| FlareSolverr | Handles supported anti-bot challenges for Prowlarr. | A configured indexer explicitly needs it. |
Downloads and management¶
| Service | Role | Add it when |
|---|---|---|
| qBittorrent | Torrent download client. | You use torrent sources. |
| SABnzbd | Usenet download client. | You use Usenet sources. |
| Radarr | Movie acquisition and organization. | You manage a movie library. |
| Sonarr | Television acquisition and organization. | You manage episodic TV. |
| Sonarr Anime | Separate Sonarr instance for anime rules. | Anime needs distinct naming, profiles, or indexers. |
| Whisparr | Adult media management. | You are using the Boudoirr-style lane. |
| Bazarr | Subtitle acquisition. | Movies or shows need automated subtitles. |
| Seerr | Request portal. | Other people should request media without entering Radarr/Sonarr. |
Playback and operations¶
| Service | Role | Add it when |
|---|---|---|
| Plex | Media playback server. | Plex is not already deployed elsewhere. |
| Jellyfin | Open-source media playback server. | You want Jellyfin in the same stack. |
| Cleanuparr | Removes blocked or unwanted downloads. | Stalled and rejected downloads need policy-driven cleanup. |
| Speedtest Tracker | Records connection performance. | Network trends matter to troubleshooting. |
| Apprise | Notification gateway without another public UI. | Several apps need one notification path. |
| Duplicati | Backs up application state. | You need scheduled, encrypted config backups. |
| Homepage | Dashboard for the fleet. | You want one launchpad and health view. |
| Watchtower | Checks or updates selected containers. | You accept the tradeoffs of unattended image updates. |
Caution
VPN and download components should be updated intentionally. A release can change healthchecks, namespaces, or port-forwarding behavior. The project disables Watchtower for tightly coordinated containers by default.
