FakeArr is a "workalike" implementation of Puks' original fake-torrent-server. It is designed to work seamlessly with DebriDav and EasyNews, but instead of requiring a separate Prowlarr indexer definition, it functions as a NewzNab indexer.
FakeArr is used in the ElfHosted EasyNews bundles, or as an optional addon to any other ElfHosted stack, as demonstrated at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkKQB61TL6I&t=7s
