Host: Dankserver — Hostname: prowlarr.dankserver.local — Docs: https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr

Gotchas

  • Prowlarr database grows with indexer data. Set up periodic vacuum/backup.
  • Indexer sync has a 15–60 minute delay. Search results may lag.
  • Rotate API key: update it in every arr app.
