This is what I get for typing with a cat paw on my keyboard 😂 thanks for pointing that out! I updated the link!

No hate perceived on my end! To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:

• I wanted to learn Rust, so I used this project to do that
• I really love TUI’s and I pretty much live in my command line at work, and since I already automate everything I can to make my work life easier, I wanted to be able to do the same with my homelab
• I think it looks cool
• For fun. If no one else ever gets use out of it, that’s okay! I just really enjoyed building it and I’m excited to build out more of it.

But also: Why not?

That’s amazing. Hello fellow Alex! 😂

You’re the first person to catch the reference! Sadly, no I’m not. But I was a prolific PSP modder as a kid so I knew his name and was very familiar with him. So, in my adult life, since he had such a big impact on me, my username is made after him! My real name is Alex so it just kind of worked.

Of course! There’s a lot of work remaining to be done to add support for other features, Servarrs, etc. So contributions are very welcome! ☺️

Thank you so much! ☺️

I just made the repo public! So here’s a link to the Managarr repo, and here’s a link to my personal Wekan board to track my progress towards the alpha-release goal.

Wow! I wasn’t expecting such a positive response! Thank you so much!

I hadn’t made the repo public yet because I’m still working towards getting the project into a state that I would consider fully ready for contributions. This means things like CI/CD, contribution guidelines, release pipelines, better developer experience through all of this automation, etc.

But given the overwhelming response to, I guess, the initial “announcement” that it even exists, I don’t see any reason why to not just make the project public while I work towards that alpha release goal.

So here’s a link to the Managarr repo, and here’s a link to my personal Wekan board to track my progress towards the alpha release goal, where I’ll consider the project fully ready for contributions.

Haven’t told this to anyone yet, but you did say “half baked”!

Similar to the idea behind k9s, I’ve been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard . I’m calling it Managarr.

I’ve been working on it since January and I’m almost done with just the Radarr support, allowing you to add/edit/remove movies, indexers, collections, root folders, etc, view logs, tasks, updates, things like that. And you can view specific movie info and do manual searches, trigger searches, add/remove tags, etc.

The only big things left are

• Finishing the UI for editing indexers and adding them (to support use cases without Prowlarr)
• Support modifying quality definitions
• Add sorting functionalities to the library and collections tables
• Building mock servers for Transmission and Nzbget so I can create a docker container for users to test and play with before they install anything.

Here’s a few screenshots:

Once I’m back to not being constantly busy with work, I’m hoping to push this thing across the finish line and get it into alpha and implement all the usual stuff like license, contribution guidelines, CI/CD, release pipelines, adding it to the standard package managers, etc.
