A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I had everything working fine for a while, and suddenly all my indexes have stopped working I get the error : " unable to connect to indexer. Connection refused (127.0.0.1:8080)"

The 127.0.0.1:8080 is not the address where my CasaOS is I don't know why it want to connect to that one or if it has something to do with the error. As I said it was working before like for 2 months I didn't change anything in the setting.

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. Ie it's your computer trying to reach a service its hosting (prowlarr)/talk to itself. Sonarr/Radarr should be using this address as long as prowlarr+sonarr/radarr are on the same machine.

Prowlarr is either not running, or port 8080 is blocked by your firewall.

127.0.0.1 is localhost which sounds right if prowlarr is in the same machine as the other services.

Is prowlarr running?

Most likely an update broke something if it suddenly stopped working.

It was indeed an update, I had to reinstall prowlarr and it started working again thanks for your help!
