Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Check out Trash Guides.
I am familiar, thanks though
This kind of functionality belongs in Sonarr/Radarr imo, and not separate service(s)
The functionality is in the apps. That's why TRaSH guides work.
You're not supposed to just use Sonarr/Radarr without customizing your filters first. It's also not too hard to make your own, if you don't want to use the TRaSH formats.
I appreciate the advice, but I’m not solely referring to the customization of filtering, of course it has the ability to do that, almost every comment in this thread is about that. The feature I am raising is about syncing community maintained txt blobs, Trash tells us exactly how to sync the guide with Sonarr/Radarr, but not without additional software or manual effort.
Trash may offer excellent filters, but they are often incomplete, and do not promote community involvement. A URL pointed at a single source of truth inherently would, this is a popular approach with blocklists all over the web. If a user wants to modify the list, and has to post to a single moderated source, everyone benefits. But currently as a user you either setup syncing orchestration or you manually copy Trash. Neither of which lends itself toward keeping the community up to date.
If you are aware of a way to have Sonarr/Radarr pull directly from a single source of truth and update itself, that would be great though.
Ah, I see what you mean now. Something like that would be nice, but I don’t think it would work for a lot of people. I know I’m pretty particular about the stuff I download, and I doubt a community maintained list would tick the boxes I want. Especially since a lot of people seem to use separate instances of Sonarr for shows and animes, and I combine them into a single one, and then assign formats and libraries accordingly using Jellyseer so that my family can request media without effort.
I agree, for folks that don’t align with common use cases something like Trash is great. But there are always common configs, in all things that the masses would benefit from. For example, with blocklists you often have users who want to block all ads, porn, only ads from large companies but not small businesses, politics, etc. Different strokes for different folks.
Same is true with Sonarr & Radarr, where you have users who prefer different things, like foreign content, subtitled content, audio quality, specific video formats, etc. Chances are there is a configuration that would strike a balance for the masses and make most users happy. Just like most users are happy with a general ad blocklist without having to think much about what it is or isn’t blocking.
I’ll probably check out Cleanuparr for my own needs, that looks like a step in the right direction.
