The rest stays locked. Every app you run with ElfHosted sits behind your ElfHosted login (SSO). That keeps it private, but tools outside ElfHosted, like a Radarr phone app, a settings sync tool such as Recyclarr or Notifiarr, or Sonarr and Radarr running on another server, talk to an app with its own API key and can't get past a login page. An Exposed add-on removes the ElfHosted login from that one app, so those tools can use its API key for remote access, and everything else in your stack stays behind your login. Before you subscribe, set a fresh API key in the app and paste it into the subscription form: from then on, that key is what protects it, so keep it secret. What opens depends on the app: Prowlarr's add-on opens its API but not its web interface, and NzbDAV's opens only its SABnzbd-compatible API, while its WebDAV files stay behind your login. Cancel the add-on and the login goes back in front. If you only use the app in your browser through ElfHosted, you don't need one. Running it at home means a port forward on your router, a reverse proxy and a certificate, all on your own weekends. Exposed add-ons exist for Radarr, Radarr (4K), Sonarr, Sonarr (4K), Sonarr (Anime), Lidarr, Prowlarr, Chaptarr, ShelfMark, AudioBookRequest, NzbDAV and Zurg. ElfHosted hosts applications; we don't provide content, and you bring your own accounts and settings. New to ElfHosted? Start with a 7-day trial. Every app is backed up daily, with self-service restores. If something goes wrong, Sam, ElfHosted's AI helper, checks your actual apps, tells you what's wrong, and asks before fixing it. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it. If you'd rather ask a person, our team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server. It's one place for support for every app you run with us, handled by professionals, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project.
