Common questions

Which port should I expose for the Pulsarr web UI?

The Docker example maps port 3003 to 3003, and the UI is accessed on that port.

Can Pulsarr monitor more than one Plex user's watchlist?

It monitors your and your friends' Plex watchlists through RSS feeds.

What notification channels are available?

Pulsarr can send notifications via Discord, Plex mobile push, and Apprise.

Is there a known sync issue on Unraid?

A self-hosted thread reports that Pulsarr did not sync unless the container was restarted.
