Latest stable release.
https://nexcrate.nexapps.dev
nexcrate manages movies, shows and music in one self-hosted app, in place of Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr side by side. A movie or a show can have several versions, such as Full HD and 4K, each with its own profile and folder, so there is no second instance for 4K. Music has one version for now.
Profiles come from everyday questions with the rules of the TRaSH Guides inside, and an expert mode edits every part by hand. Movies, shows and anime come from TMDB, music from MusicBrainz. Releases are searched over Newznab and Torznab indexers and downloaded through SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Transmission or Deluge; torrents are hardlinked and keep seeding. A switch-over reads the library, indexers, download clients and profiles of an existing Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr, then takes the files over.
Also: automatic search and RSS with delay rules per version, renaming with a preview and an undo, library rules that pick the target folder, a calendar with an iCal feed, notifications, Plex, Jellyfin and Emby told about new files, encrypted backups, and an API for other programs.

nexcrate is one app for movies, shows and music in place of Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr, with several versions per title such as Full HD and 4K.
Open the web interface and create the account. Whoever reaches a fresh installation first can create it, and it is the only account there is, so do that right after the first start and before the port is reachable from other networks. Then add your indexers and download clients, create a profile from the questions, and either add titles or switch over from Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr in the settings.
The data of nexcrate itself lives under /data: the SQLite database, the key that encrypts the stored credentials, logs and backups. Keep it on a local disk, never on an SMB or NFS share, because SQLite locking is not reliable over network filesystems. Mount an empty folder there: nexcrate refuses to start on a folder that holds files it did not create.
Media and downloads go under a second path such as /media. Put the download folders of SABnzbd or qBittorrent and the movie, show and music folders below one host folder and mount that folder once, so hardlinks work and a torrent does not take its space twice. Your download clients may see the same folder under another path; nexcrate notices that at the first finished download and asks you once to confirm.
Set PUID and PGID to the user that should own the files. 99 and 100 are the Unraid defaults and work out of the box.
