Overseer/Jellyseer/Ombi are request interfaces. You and your users submit requests for movies/shows (music too if you use Lidarr) through there.
Those requests are fed into Sonarr/Radarr which actually manage the media files. They will search your indexers via Jackett/Prowlarr to find the most suitable torrent or nzb, dropping that into your download client (I use qbittorrent and SABnzbd, though I've disabled torrents for the time being.). Once completed Sonarr/Radarr will remove them from the download client, sort the files into your media folders and rename them accordingly. If a piece of media couldn't be found, or is below your desired quality standard Sonarr/Radarr will monitor RSS feeds from your indexers and occasionally perform searches, upgrading files as they are found.
Finally Emby/Jellyfin/Plex can scan your media folders, grab metadata from imdb/thetvdb/themoviedb and present it all nicely for you.
If you haven't already; putting these services behind a reverse proxy like nginx and a set of subdomains makes ease of use much better. Instead of remembering a bunch of port numbers and IPs: sonarr.domain.tld, radarr.domain.tld, etc.
Within my local network I run Pihole both to block most ads/tracking for every device on the local network, as well as just a local dns server to resolve those domains. (I also own a public domain to easily reach my stuff remotely)
Really appreciate the info, very helpful. The *seer's and *arr's are much more clear, thank you.
I'm still confused about indexers, jackett, nzb, and how alldebrid helps.
I'm running yunohost so subdomains are a snap, and already have jellyfin running.
Use Alldebrid if you want to stream videos torrents directly from the internet with a media player like Kodi. You basically get a pirated version of a streaming app. You can stream in really high quality if your internet is fast enough. I recently streamed the ripped Blu-Ray version of Avatar 2 without issue which was like 100GB. I haven’t downloaded and stored a movie/show ever since I use Alldebrid with Kodi+Seren and Stremio+torrentio. It’s paid but it’s super cheap.
If you are patient and have the storage space you can use Usenet or Jackett+Prowlarr+qBittorrent
Is it recommended to use a VPN for alldebrid?
No not really, the connection with the Alldebrid servers is encrypted. So your ISP can't see what you are downloading. But Alldebrid might store your IP and what you are downloading. So if you don't trust them maybe a VPN is recommended. Though if you live in a country where they don't go after individual pirates then you don't have anything to worry about. And usually they only go after people who are sharing files, which you automatically do with torrenting, but since you only download files with Alldebrid you aren't sharing.
