I recently moved from win 11 on my mini PC to ubuntu. Following a tutorial, I have plex set up in portainer.

When looking to add the arrs, I came across the wiki which warns against using portainer for sonarr.

I don’t know what to do now. Is it possible to run the arrs outside of portainer and still work with plex?

Or does anyone use portainer for arrs and find it’s OK?

Just looking for advice on a way forward. Thinking I might start again with docker compose as they suggest.

Thanks!

    The warning is about using portainer to initially setup the container, not using it to manage it once setup

    If you use docker compose, or even straight docker commands, to initialise the container, it’s then fine to use portainer to monitor the status and restart it and things like that.
