master
- - (Default/Stable): It has been tested by users on the develop and nightly branches and it’s not known to have any major issues. On GitHub, this is the
master
branch. Prowlarr does not yet have a stable release.
develop
- - (Beta): This is the testing edge. Released after tested in nightly to ensure no immediate issues. New features and bug fixes released here first after nightly. It can be considered semi-stable, but is still
beta
.
On GitHub, this is a snapshot of the
develop
branch at a specific point in time.

- Warning: You may not be able to go back to

as explained in the mergerFS docs hereRestoring to an OS that uses different paths will not work (Windows to Linux, Linux to Windows, Windows to OS X or OS X to Windows), moving between OS X and Linux may work, since both use paths containing

instead of\
that Windows uses, but is not supported. You'll need to manually edit all paths in the database.
Re-install Prowlarr (if applicable / not already installed)
Find the location of the AppData directory for Prowlarr
Stop Prowlarr
Delete the contents of the AppData directory (Including the .db-wal/.db-journal files if they exist)
Restore from your backup
Start Prowlarr
As long as the paths are the same, everything will pick up where it left off
Restore for Synology NAS
CAUTION: Restoring on a Synology requires knowledge of Linux and Root SSH access to the Synology Device.
On some installations, the user is different than the below commands:
chown -R sc-Prowlarr:Prowlarr *
Execute the following commands:
rm -r /usr/local/Prowlarr/var/.config/Prowlarr/Prowlarr.db
cp -f /tmp/Prowlarr_backup/* /usr/local/Prowlarr/var/.config/Prowlarr/
Update permissions on the files:
cd /usr/local/Prowlarr/var/.config/Prowlarr/
chown -R Prowlarr:users *
chmod -R 0644 *
Start Prowlarr
If you can only reach your web interface at http://localhost:9696/
or http://127.0.0.1:9696
, you need to run Prowlarr as Administrator at least once, maybe even always.
Some sites cannot be logged into automatically and require you to login manually then give the cookies to Prowlarr to work. Please see this article for details.
Prowlarr was unable to read your config file on start-up as it became corrupted somehow. In order to get Prowlarr back online, you will need to delete .xml
in your AppData Folder, once deleted start Prowlarr and it will start on the default port (9696), you should now re-configure any settings you configured on the General Settings page.
Your download client stopped working and you're getting an error like Localhost is an invalid certificate
?
Prowlarr validates SSL certificates. If there is no SSL certificate set in the download client, or you're using a self-signed https certificate without the CA certificate added to your local certificate store, then Prowlarr will refuse to connect. Free properly signed certificates are available from let's encrypt.
If your download client and Prowlarr are on the same machine there is no reason to use HTTPS, so the easiest solution is to disable SSL for the connection. Most would agree it's not required on a local network either. It is possible to disable certificate validation in advanced settings if you want to keep an insecure SSL setup.
To disable authentication (to reset your username or password) you will need need to edit config.xml
which will be inside the Prowlarr Appdata Directory

Settings: General
in the UI and set your username and passwordUnless you're in a repressive country like China, Australia or South Africa, your torrent client is typically the only thing that needs to be behind a VPN. Because the VPN endpoint is shared by many users, you can and will experience rate limiting, DDOS protection, and ip bans from various services each software uses.
In other words, putting the *Arrs (Lidarr, Prowlarr, Radarr, Readarr, and Sonarr) behind a VPN can and will make the applications unusable in some cases due to the services not being accessible. To be clear it is not a matter if VPNs will cause issues with the *Arrs, but when: image providers will block you and cloudflare is in front of most of *arr servers (updates, metadata, etc.) and liable to block you too.
In addition, some private trackers ban for browsing from a VPN, which is how Prowlarr works. In some cases (i.e. certain UK ISPs) it may be needed to use a VPN for public trackers, in which case you should then be putting only Prowlarr behind the VPN. However, you should not do that if you have private trackers without checking their rules first. Many private trackers will ban you for using or accessing them (i.e. using Prowlarr) via a VPN.

.No. This would not be a good thing to do, and this functionality will not be added. It is much better to choose your indexers wisely, pay attention to the stats to remove indexers that are too slow or not producing grabs. Proper pruning and maintenance of your indexers will result in much better results overall, and quicker results on searches from your apps.
