Media Stack
Your library, kept current by itself
Radarr and Sonarr watch for the films and shows you follow, Prowlarr feeds them indexers, qBittorrent does the downloading and Bazarr fetches subtitles. Add something once and the stack keeps it up to date.

Module
mediaInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install mediaWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Radarr Film collection manager | :7878 | — |
| Sonarr TV series collection manager | :8989 | — |
| Prowlarr Indexer manager for the *arr apps | :9696 | — |
| Bazarr Subtitle downloader | :6767 | — |
| qBittorrent BitTorrent client | :8080 | qBittorrent's web UI account. HomeBox writes it into qBittorrent's own config before first start, so it survives restarts — left to itself qBittorrent invents a new temporary password every time it boots. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- Set Prowlarr up first — it pushes indexers into Radarr and Sonarr so you never paste the same tracker twice
- Every container mounts the pool at the same path (/data), which is what lets downloads become hardlinks instead of copies. Change one mapping and your disk usage quietly doubles
- In Radarr and Sonarr set the root folder to /data/<Movies> and /data/<TV series>, and in qBittorrent set the save path to /data/<Downloads> - using the folder names from Settings > Server Config > Advanced > Media (by default /data/media/movies, /data/media/tv and /data/downloads)
