I had everything working fine for a while, and suddenly all my indexes have stopped working I get the error : " unable to connect to indexer. Connection refused (127.0.0.1:8080)"

The 127.0.0.1:8080 is not the address where my CasaOS is I don’t know why it want to connect to that one or if it has something to do with the error. As I said it was working before like for 2 months I didn’t change anything in the setting.

    127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. Ie it’s your computer trying to reach a service its hosting (prowlarr)/talk to itself. Sonarr/Radarr should be using this address as long as prowlarr+sonarr/radarr are on the same machine.

    Prowlarr is either not running, or port 8080 is blocked by your firewall.

    127.0.0.1 is localhost which sounds right if prowlarr is in the same machine as the other services.

    Is prowlarr running?

    Most likely an update broke something if it suddenly stopped working.

      It was indeed an update, I had to reinstall prowlarr and it started working again thanks for your help!
