Access sonarr on a different computer within the same network
1 project | /r/sonarr | 29 Apr 2023

I want to setup a Plex media server and I have been following this tutorial which uses a dockerised sonarr, radarr, etc. I want to set this up on an old PC without needing a monitor. I was hoping to access the sonarr and radarr web ui through my Mac which is my main laptop. Is this possible? I’ve been searching for a while but I can’t find an answer that works. Any help and/or tips is appreciated. Thank you!

As far as 'tutorial', I don't know what's out there. I don't know if you're a Linux user or Windows. There are various docker containers and builds out there for setting this stuff up but I don't know how it all works under Windows (or if it even does). https://github.com/sebgl/htpc-download-box seems maybe relevant.
