Seerr and Overseerr

Bring over the people who ask for titles, their limits and their open requests, so nobody asks twice.

Before you start

• Move Radarr and Sonarr first, or in the same move. Requests point at titles. See Sonarr and Radarr.
• Have Seerr’s or Overseerr’s address and API key, or its config folder.

Move people and requests

1. In Settings > Move from other apps, click Add an app and pick Seerr or Overseerr.
2. Read it. You should see a count of people and requests.
3. In Choose, turn on This is me if the Seerr owner is you. Turn on Keep as admin for each admin who should stay one.
4. Click Try it. Answer any row under Needs a choice (see People with the same name).
5. Click Move. Then invite each person from Settings > Users and roles. You should see them listed, turned off until invited.

What comes over

From Seerr or Overseerr	In HolyArrs
People	People, turned off until you invite them, as members with matching permissions and their weekly request limit. Passwords stay behind.
Admins	Members, unless you turn on Keep as admin.
The owner	You, only if you turn on This is me.
Waiting or approved requests	Requests, with the right person. They do not count against anyone’s weekly limit.

An email that is not one plain address is left out. An approved request whose title did not come over waits for approval again.

Stays behind: request tags, avatars and finished or turned-down requests (only counted).

Choices

People with the same name

When someone here already has the name of a person from Seerr, the move never joins them by itself. Try it lists that person under Needs a choice:

Choice	Result
Same person	Their requests go to the person here.
Leave out	Their requests come over as yours.

The same choice shows when HolyArrs cannot tell if a person is one an earlier move brought, and when the person you picked is gone. Your choice reruns the test right away. The row stays, so you can change it. Until you choose, that person stays behind; Done says how many still need a choice.

If it does not work

Symptom	Cause	Fix
The move button is greyed out	A person still needs a choice.	Answer every row under Needs a choice.
A request waits for approval again	Its title did not come over.	Move the Radarr or Sonarr that holds it, then approve.
A person is missing	Their email was not one plain address.	Invite them by hand.

For experts

API person choices

In the people map of POST /api/v1/migrate/plan, dry-run and moves, each person takes owner (the old app’s owner only), admin, merge or skip. A person who needs a choice has choose set to same_name, numeric_id or merge_gone in the dry-run report. See the API block on Move from other apps.
