I am upgrading my hardware so the server is snappier, Plex is faster, with less issues with transcodes, etc.

Here's the apps I currently use on my windows machine:

Windows:

Plex, Sonarr, 2x Radarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Tautulli, Cleanuparr, Cloudflared, FlareSolverr, Audiobookshelf, Calibre, Calibre-Web, NordVPN, RustDesk.

Docker for Windows:

Portainer, Maintainerr, Agregarr, Seerr, Cloudflared, Bazarr for second Radarr instance.

I have never used Linux but I believe the server might run better and encounter less issues.

The reasoning behind recreating the server on Linux (I'm thinking Ubuntu Desktop) is i'm updating the cpu/mobo and it's the push I needed to finally do it.

1. Any tips on transferring data automatically so I don't have to redo 100% of the settings? I have so many hours on this server.
2. What do you recommend on top of the software listed above, or replace?

I know some apps replace Sonarr or Radarr, or they are linked so it's a bit cleaner? I'm after these kind of things.

3. Also, what's your favourite dashboard, if you use one? I don't have any at the moment.

I posted Foreseerr here a while ago when it was still a very early fork of Seerr. Since then it has grown quite a bit, so I figured it was worth making a proper update instead of editing the old post.

The original goal was basically to make Seerr's discovery experience more useful for people who already have a media server and want something beyond the usual TMDB discovery pages.

What’s new

Trakt

• Recommendations, popular/trending, lists
• Discovery closer to real watch history
• Direct Trakt OAuth works regardless of media server
• Optional Better Trakt bridge for Jellyfin users

Library / watch actions

• Browse what’s already available, Continue Watching, etc. (Jellyfin-focused)
• Watched/unwatched and ratings closer to the discovery UI (Trakt + Jellyfin played state)

Better discovery

• More rating sources (e.g. MDBList badges)
• More useful sliders and filters
• Aim: homepage you can use to pick what to watch next, not just the same popular titles

Foreseerr Desktop

• Same UI + embedded Jellyfin playback in one window
• Native mpv-based playback instead of bouncing to an external browser/player
• Target flow: discover → request → library → watch

Media server support

Foreseerr is Jellyfin-first for the deeper stuff (Library / Watch Now, Desktop playback, Jellyfin watched actions, Better Trakt).

Plex and Emby still work for Seerr-style sign-in, library scans, requests, and availability. Shared features like Direct Trakt, rating badges, Discover, and the request pipeline are not media-server-specific. Full Library/Desktop parity for Plex/Emby is not a near-term priority.

It’s still a work in progress — mostly built around what I wanted from Jellyseerr/Seerr on Jellyfin.

Especially interested in feedback from Jellyfin (and Plex/Emby) stacks: what would make you use Foreseerr as your main media frontend, not only open Seerr when requesting something?

Screenshots / issues / feature requests are very welcome.

Discover

Hey looking to get some audio books but I see Readarr is down now. I tried searching but didn’t come up with anything, is there a replacement out yet? If not, where are you folks getting your audio books from these days? Thanks!

My current setup includes Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, Bazarr, Prowlarr, Transmission, Jellyseerr, Gluetun, … so it’s pretty complete (at least to me)

I also have a cron job that runs a ytdlp container every night to get YouTube videos I want to keep track of, in case they are ever deleted/censored.

That last part (ytdlp) is really custom, and not integrated in the rest of the stack. It makes metadata management quite difficult.

Is there some tool I’m missing that would take care of that ?
