- Remove overseer and jellyseer variables and replace with a "seerr" variable. - Am not currently using the variable since the seerr documentation recommends using the default UID and GID of the container image. feature/replace_overseer_and_jellyseer_with_seerr
- Overseerr and Jellyseerr have been combined into "Seerr". Both Overseerr and Jellyseerr are no longer maintained. - Removes Overseerr and Jellyseerr from docker compose - Adds Seerr to docker compose with guidance from official documentation. feature/replace_overseerr_and_jellyseerr_with_seerr
I did not remove Overseerr and Jellyseer yet since people may still have those users if they used the script before this update. feature/replace_overseerr_and_jellyseerr_with_seerr
- Seerr does not recommend using a non-default UID and GID and the defaults are 1000:1000 so I updated the Seer config folder to use those permissions. - Technically since the current user is added to the "mediacenter" and most likely this will be the default user the person used to setup linux with the permissions 1000:1000, the mediacenter group could likely be used. It's not good to make assumptions though. feature/replace_overseerr_and_jellyseerr_with_seerr
- There is no "Seerr" user created, so there is no need to "delete" that user either.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm a bit hesitant to use the default user ID for this container but if they say it's the best way to use it, I'm inclined to trust them. Looks good otherwise, thanks for the work!

Background
The Overseerr and Jellyseerr projects have been merged into one project now called "Seerr". This means the currently used Overseerr and Jellyseerr containers unmaintained.
Scope
This would only replace the manual install steps with the new Seerr application. I am more well versed with shell scripts than Python so I thought that would be an easier start. From what I could tell, the python scripts do not rely on any files used in the manual installation (Correct me if I'm wrong here).
Changes
remove_old_users.shscript since I wasn't sure if they should be kept for legacy users.
