What is HolyArrs?
HolyArrs is a self-hosted application designed to manage shows, movies, and music in one place. It replaces six separate media management tools by combining their functions into a single interface with one login and one network port.
The app runs as a Docker container and supports amd64, arm64, and armv7 architectures. It uses approximately 140 megabytes of RAM at idle and downloads around 15 megabytes. Users can browse titles, watch trailers on hover, request new content, and set release preferences based on size, quality, or language.
Setup requires a docker-compose file and takes about two minutes. The system handles metadata, artwork, and charts through its own server, so users do not need to configure external API keys. It also includes a compatibility layer to receive source updates from older applications.
