Automate movie and TV show downloads using Radarr, Sonarr, Bazarr, Prowlarr, and Seerr.
::
[Servarr](https://wiki.servarr.com/) is a suite of applications developed to automate the downloading, updating, and management of media. Here, we'll focus on movies and TV shows with the goal of:
- Selecting a movie from a catalog through a web interface.
- Sitting back and enjoying it on Plex a few minutes later.
- Sitting back and enjoying it on Jellyfin a few minutes later.
Simple.

__Warning:__ Make sure to follow this file structure carefully, especially the `media` folder. This folder must be mounted **exactly the same way** in both the _Qbittorrent_ compose file (`/your/path/media:/media`) and the _arr_ applications.
If not, the _arr_ apps may not recognize the path provided by Qbittorrent and will fail to create _hardlinks_.
Without hardlinks, the _arr_ apps will copy the files instead—**doubling the space used** on your storage.

### Configuring Overseerr

[Overseerr](https://overseerr.dev/) is an app that lets you browse a movie catalog and send requests to Sonarr and Radarr. Just browse movies or series, click *Request*, and the media will automatically be downloaded according to your Radarr or Sonarr settings. If the title hasn’t been released yet, it will be downloaded automatically when available. This way, episodes of a series appear in Plex without any manual intervention.

## Exposing Overseerr with SWAG
## Exposing Seerr with SWAG
It can be useful to expose Overseerr if you want to send requests from outside your network without a VPN, or if you've shared your Plex library with others and want them to have Overseerr access.

::warning
Seerr has no built-in two-factor authentication. Only expose it if you're using a secure authentication solution like [TinyAuth](/serveex/security/tinyauth) with [Pocket ID](/serveex/security/pocket-id), or [Authentik](/serveex/advanced/authentik). Otherwise, don't expose it with SWAG, use a VPN like [Wireguard](/serveex/security/wireguard) instead.
