Sonarr
A TV series collection manager that automatically monitors RSS feeds for new episodes and downloads them via Usenet or BitTorrent. It renames and organizes files, fetches metadata, and keeps your media library structured.
What You Can Do After Deployment

/tv
- Add download clients — connect your Usenet (SABnzbd, NZBGet) or BitTorrent (qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge) client under Settings > Download Clients
- Add indexers — configure Usenet indexers or torrent trackers under Settings > Indexers
