Overview

Whisparr is a Sonarr fork purpose-built for managing adult content. It integrates with Prowlarr for indexer searches and NZBGet for downloads, following the same *arr workflow as Sonarr but with metadata sources appropriate for its content type. Downloaded content is delivered to the same media volume that Stash monitors.

Access

Type URL Notes
Internal https://whisparr.home.local LAN access via Step-CA TLS

No external route — internal management only.

Notes / Gotchas

  • The hotio/whisparr:v3 image is a community-maintained build. Monitor the repository for updates as this is not an official Servarr project.
  • Whisparr's library root folder should point to the same path that Stash monitors (/mnt/Multimedia/ST) so content is automatically picked up by Stash after import.
  • Prowlarr indexer categories for adult content must be configured correctly in Prowlarr and mapped to Whisparr in the Apps settings.
