Homelab Academy / Modules
Independent application with evidence.
Module: Sonarr & Radarr
Activity type: Homework / independent application
Objective: Differentiate monitored state from missing, available, downloaded, and cutoff-unmet states
Design monitoring policies for three cases: a currently airing favorite, a completed archival series with intentional gaps, and a new series for which only the pilot is desired.
For each case, state whether historical searches should be run and what checks must occur before searching.
Add a new episode to a copy of the lab inventory that is monitored, available, has a Bluray-1080p file, and should classify as satisfied.
Add another episode with an unknown quality label and explain why manual review is safer than silently assigning a rank.
Create a one-page operational checklist for reviewing monitored counts, missing counts, cutoff-unmet counts, storage capacity, indexer health, and download-client readiness before a bulk search.
