I've been running the Sabnzbd + Sickbeard setup (both LSIO dockers, thanks guys!) for ages and it more or less minds it own - I only do minor household on them. While perusing the apps it dawned on me that Sickbeard has been discontinued - the entry actually says that it is for unRaid 5 and unsupported on my version of unRaid (6.6.3) - but so far it seems to be working.

 

However, sooner or later it's probably gonna cause problems so I figured I'd start testing out a new setup. Thing is, I have no clue what a worthy alternative is.

 

I'm not a heavy user - have like 10-12 active series and I really like not to have to tinker a lot with the setup. I mainly use NNTP. Torrent support could be ok, I guess, but not sure I'd use it out of my unRaid setup. Would be nice with subtitle DL as well, but can you really trust that to work, timing-wise when playing back anyway? 

 

Any suggestions on what to go for?

I switched to sonarr. Similar, but actively developed (or was, i haven't checked recently).

 

Seems as low maintenance as sick beard was but seems faster.

Sonarr + NzbGet dockers are what I use.  It has been working great for a long time.

@whipdancer @TType85 Thank you for your input. I have made the switch to Sonarr which seems to be working fine for me - thanks!
