Prowlarr Role

Deploys Prowlarr - an indexer manager/proxy for the *arr stack - using Podman with k8s files. The linuxserver/prowlarr image bundles Prowlarr and its SQLite database.

Prerequisites

The podman role must have been applied to the host first (shared service, intentionally not declared in meta/main.yml to keep prowlarr deploys fast). Order it before prowlarr in the playbook for fresh installs.

Role Variables

See defaults/main.yml for all available variables and their default values.

Storage

prowlarr_config_dir - SQLite database, indexer definitions and API keys. Backed up.

Ports

Port	Protocol	Purpose
`prowlarr_port` (9696)	tcp	Web UI

Nginx Reverse Proxy

Set prowlarr_nginx_enabled: true and prowlarr_nginx_hostname to expose the web UI over HTTPS. Certificates are provisioned via the shared nginx role's certbot tasks. If the hostname is not the apex, point a DNS record at the host first.

Backup

The role exposes prowlarr_backup_paths (config only). Add a job in the host inventory to include it:

backup_jobs:
    - name: prowlarr
      repositories: [next_s3]
      paths: "{{ prowlarr_backup_paths }}"

Troubleshooting

systemctl --user status prowlarr
journalctl --user -u prowlarr -f
podman logs prowlarr
