Arr Summary (Greendale)
Flask dashboard aggregating status from the user's self-hosted media stack
— Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, Tautulli, Prowlarr, Ombi — plus Unraid array
stats and a Rotten Tomatoes "what's popular that I don't have yet" feed.
Branded "Greendale Media Centre." Runs as one Docker container on the
user's Unraid home server. Server-side project directory is named
greendale; the container/repo are named arr-summary.
Architecture
app.py— single Flask app, session-based single-shared-password auth (LOGIN_PASSWORDenv var, hashed comparison; can be changed at runtime via/api/change-password, persisted tosettings.json). Supports running behind a reverse-proxy subpath viaSCRIPT_NAME+ScriptNameMiddleware+ProxyFix(currently deployed at domain root, not a subpath, but the capability exists — seenginx/configs for both).- Per-service client functions (
sonarr_get,radarr_get,sabnzbd_get,tautulli_get,prowlarr_get,ombi_get) each call that service's REST API directly with its API key from env vars. - The dashboard route (
/) fetches all services in parallel viaThreadPoolExecutorwith a hard 5-second wall-clock deadline — any slow/unreachable service degrades to an error dict rather than blocking the whole page. This matters for remote/cellular access. - Aggressive per-service caching with different TTLs tuned to how often each actually changes: Sonarr/Radarr library lists 5 min (the biggest latency cost — full Radarr list is ~4.4MB), Tautulli stats 2 min, SABnzbd history 10 min, Ombi requests 4 hours, Rotten Tomatoes scrapes 4 hours. Active streams (Tautulli) and the SABnzbd queue are always fetched live, never cached — those need to be current-second accurate.
- Rotten Tomatoes / IMDB are scraped directly (
requests+BeautifulSoup, JSON-LD parsing), not via an official API — brittle to upstream HTML changes by nature.
- Per-service client functions (
templates/— Jinja2 templates (dashboard.html,login.html,settings.html); duplicated at the top level too (dashboard.htmletc. outsidetemplates/) — appears to be a leftover from an earlier project layout or theexport-to-unraid.shtooling. Left as-is rather than restructured without confirming with the user first.export-to-unraid.sh— a pre-existing standalone deploy script (build image locally → tarball → rsync +docker loadover SSH) that predates the Forgejo pipeline below. Still present, not removed, but the Forgejo pipeline is now the primary deploy path going forward.nginx/— reference nginx location-block snippets for subdomain vs. subpath reverse-proxy setups; not actually consumed by the app at runtime (NPM handles proxying in practice), kept as documentation/config reference.
Local development
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 app.py
Runs on port 5000. Needs the various *_API_KEY and *_HOST/ARR_HOST
env vars (see .env.example) to reach real services — without them,
dashboard cards degrade to "error" status individually rather than
crashing the page.
Deployment
Target: Unraid server, container path /mnt/user/appdata/greendale
(note the directory name differs from the container/repo name), built from
Dockerfile/docker-compose.yml in this repo. Container name
arr-summary, port 5055 (overridable via HOST_PORT) → container port
5000.
Deploy mechanism: Forgejo push-to-deploy, same pattern as the other
three projects on this box — see card-grader's CLAUDE.md for the full
pipeline mechanics. Push to main on the forgejo remote
(https://git.hippofam.com/ninja_hippo/arr-summary.git) triggers
.forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml, which syncs into
/mnt/user/appdata/greendale (excluding .git, .env) and runs
docker compose up -d --build.
Persistent state, never touched by deploys: .env holds every API key
and LOGIN_PASSWORD — this project was already doing this correctly
before the Forgejo migration (compose file uses ${VAR} substitution from
.env, no hardcoded secrets), unlike n64-tracker which needed fixing.
settings.json (timezone, theme, changed login password) also persists
server-side outside git.
