Run it properly.

Operational guidance from running this in production — what to lock down, what surprises people.

// PERFORMANCE
OpenSubtitles free tier limits
20 downloads/day; VIP for unlimited
// SECURITY
Sync correction is slow
disable for large catch-up runs, enable for new additions
// OPERATIONS
Same media paths as *Arr apps
Bazarr volumes must mirror Sonarr/Radarr exactly
// RELIABILITY
API keys for *Arr apps
get from each app's Settings → General
// DEPLOYMENT
Backup /config
subtitle preferences + provider configs
// SCALING
Watch hash matching
.en.srt vs .eng.srt naming matters for some media servers
