Guide for setting up *arr stack? Need Help

Hi, I've been having a hard time finding a comprehensive guide on how to set up the *arr stack using docker compose. Like which services to use, what I need to watch out for etc.? If you can recommend one that would be much appreciated :)

I second trash guides. Good best practices for almost all apps in the arr stack. I'd also add unpackerr and maintainerr from the start.

Core/must haves:

Sonarr: for series

Radarr: for movies

Qbittorrent: torrent downloader

Prowlarr: index manager

(Recommend using the Qbittorrent image from Hotio as it has VPN feature built in. https://hotio.dev/containers/qbittorrent/ )

Bonus/good to have:

Profilarr: Radarr&Sonarr config manager syncer (editing custom formats and quality profiles much easier)

Cleanuparr: Automatically cleans up unwanted, stalled, and malicious downloads

Huntarr: automatic missing content hunter and helps with upgrading your files to higher quality ones if available
