v1.4.0: Diagnose & Fix, Remote access, and Tunarr

The biggest GuardTowarr release yet. It goes beyond up/down monitoring: it now
reads what's actually wrong, lets you fix common problems in one click, can be
checked securely from outside your network, and adds Tunarr support.

New

  • Diagnose & Fix (Stability tab): GuardTowarr now watches your Radarr/Sonarr
    download queues and flags stuck or failed downloads (stalled torrents, no
    seeds, failed imports) that the basic checks miss.
  • One-click fixes on issues: test download clients, re-test indexers, force
    re-check or re-announce a stalled qBittorrent torrent, and remove + blocklist
    • re-search a genuinely bad download. Nothing runs on its own; every fix is a
      button you press, and destructive ones ask you to confirm.
  • Smart remediation: it tells a stall (your client, connection, or no seeds)
    apart from a genuinely bad release and leads with the right fix. A loop guard
    warns you when you've already burned through several releases and the problem
    is really your client or connection.
  • Remote access: an optional second port you can reach from outside your network.
    It is token-protected, off by default, and never exposes your API keys,
    passwords, or internal addresses. Monitor-only out of the box, with separate
    opt-ins for content requests and remediation.
  • Tunarr support (beta): reads Tunarr's own health checks (ffmpeg version,
    hardware acceleration, transcode directory, and more), each linked to the
    matching Tunarr docs page.
  • Pushover alerts: a third notification channel alongside ntfy and Discord.
  • Lite stats mode: trims the heavy stats lookups for low-power servers (Pi, NAS)
    while leaving monitoring and alerts fully intact.

Improved

  • Burst-aware alerts: when several services drop or recover together, you get one
    summary ("all services except Plex are back online, down ~4m") instead of a
    notification per service.
  • No startup floods: after a restart, alerts are held during a short settle
    window and sent as a single summary of whatever is still wrong.
  • Stall grace period: a torrent that briefly stalls is given time to recover
    before it alerts you. It still shows on the dashboard right away.
  • Smarter library counts: totals come from Plex/Jellyfin when available, and are
    no longer double-counted when you run both.
  • History and uptime: each service now shows its 30-day uptime with a small
    inline bar, and recent events expand on demand.
  • The Services and Alerts settings now use the space better, and services are
    ordered by how commonly they are used.
  • Faster, lighter stats panel.

Fixed

  • The update checker now reports the correct version instead of always showing an
    update.
  • Health-issue documentation links now point to the right place: stuck downloads
    go to the servarr wiki, and "update available" warnings open the app itself so
    you can update.
  • Various smaller layout and consistency fixes.

Upgrade notes

  • Diagnose & Fix is on by default. It adds a small amount of Radarr/Sonarr queue
    polling and may surface stuck-download warnings you hadn't seen before. You can
    turn it off in Settings > Stability.
  • The old Beta settings tab is now called Stability.
  • The custom color palette option was removed (light/dark themes are unchanged).
  • Remote access: to use it in Docker, publish port 9596 and recreate the
    container. See the README for setup and the reverse-proxy guidance.

Get it

  • Docker: docker pull tonytrawl/guardtowarr:v1.4.0 (or :latest)
