What is Prismarr?
Prismarr is a self-hosted media manager that pulls Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Jellyseerr, qBittorrent, and TMDb into one clean Symfony 8 dashboard. It gives you a single search bar spanning your local library and TMDb, a merged calendar for movie releases and episodes, a unified dashboard with health checks and watchlists, and centralized settings—no more tab-juggling. Runs in a single multi-arch Docker container with embedded SQLite and a setup wizard for instant config.
Why is it gaining traction?
Unlike bookmark launchers like Heimdall or Homarr, or iframe mashups like Organizr, Prismarr consumes APIs for a true unified view: quick-add modals, qBittorrent drag-and-drop with pipeline badges, and cross-tab download toasts. Zero external deps (no Redis, no DB setup) and secure credential storage make it dead simple for self-hosted media stacks. French/English UI, iCal export, and Gluetun VPN sync add polish without bloat.
Who should use this?
Homelab runners with the full *arr suite and qBittorrent who hate switching apps for searches, calendars, or downloads. Ideal for self-hosted media library owners wanting a modern control panel on top of their stack, not a replacement—perfect if you're already Dockerizing Radarr/Sonarr but need one pane of glass.
Verdict
Grab it for a slick self-hosted media dashboard if your stack matches—wizard setup and daily-use readiness shine despite 17 stars and 1.0% credibility score. Solo-maintained with solid docs, 179 tests, and CHANGELOG; watch the roadmap for multi-user and Jellyfin widgets. Early but promising.
