Jellyseerr
Browse trending titles, search anything, request it in two clicks: Jellyseerr gives Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex users a beautiful storefront for the media library. Born as the Overseerr fork that added Jellyfin and Emby support (the projects have since unified as Seerr), it handles the full request lifecycle - users authenticate with their existing media-server accounts, pick individual seasons or movies in a clean interface, and admins approve or decline from a simple queue, including on mobile. Approved requests flow straight to Sonarr and Radarr, which handle acquisition automatically, with support for separate 4K server instances. Regular library scans keep availability accurate, so users see instantly what already exists instead of requesting duplicates. A granular permission system controls who can request what - auto-approval for trusted users, quotas and limits elsewhere - and override rules adjust request routing by user, tag, or other conditions. Watchlist and blocklist functions curate discovery, notifications reach email, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Pushover, and Pushbullet, and both PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. Localized into many languages, it turns "can you add this movie?" texts into a self-service system that runs itself.
Seanime
Seanime turns your server into a dedicated anime and manga command center, combining local library management, torrent streaming, an integrated manga reader, and AniList progress tracking in a single self-hosted web application. Point it at your media folders and the smart scanner automatically identifies and matches your anime files to AniList entries without requiring strict naming conventions or folder hierarchies. Stream episodes directly from torrents through qBittorrent, Transmission, Torbox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize; the built-in player starts playback before the download finishes, so there is no waiting for full transfers. The manga reader pulls chapters from community extension sources and tracks your reading progress across series automatically. An in-app extension marketplace lets you install third-party providers for streaming, manga, and torrent sources, all written in JavaScript and managed through a visual interface. Seanime Tenji, the companion mobile app for iOS and Android, connects to your server for on-the-go library browsing, content streaming, and offline downloads. Auto-download rules grab new episodes of airing series the moment torrents appear. The transcoding engine handles on-the-fly conversion for browser playback on any device, while direct play passes through compatible formats at full quality. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Radarr
The movie half of the *arr stack: Radarr is a .NET collection manager that automates acquiring films for Usenet and BitTorrent users the way Sonarr does for TV. Add a movie once and Radarr handles the rest: it monitors indexers and RSS feeds, grabs a matching release the moment one appears, sends it to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rTorrent, or another connected download client, then imports, sorts, and renames the file into your library structure. Quality profiles are the control surface - define allowed resolutions and a cutoff, and Radarr keeps upgrading files automatically, replacing a DVD rip when a Blu-ray release lands. Custom formats go further, scoring releases by codec, HDR metadata, release group, streaming source, or arbitrary regex so the copy you want always wins the pick. Failed downloads retry with another release automatically; a manual search shows every candidate and explains why one was skipped. Release parsing recognizes director's cuts, special editions, AKA titles, and hardcoded subs. Plex and Kodi integration handles notifications, library refreshes, and metadata like posters, trailers, and subtitles, and a calendar view tracks upcoming releases. It pairs naturally with Jellyseerr for request management and shares its API conventions with the whole *arr ecosystem.
Universal Media Server
Every screen in the house (browser, TV, game console, or phone) can open the same library of videos, music, and photos once Universal Media Server shares it, with transcoding handled automatically for whichever device asks. A file the device can already play passes through untouched. Anything else is converted on the fly to suit the network, the device, and the preferred language. Folders open at once, with no wait for library scans, and disc drives and disc images play directly. In the web interface, every title gets a page with cover art, cast, and genre details from TMDB, Discogs, and MusicBrainz, and filters narrow the library by actor, director, genre, year, or artist. YouTube channels, online radio, podcasts, and RSS feeds appear beside local files on every connected device. Users and groups, with optional avatars and four-digit PINs, decide which shared folders each person sees; content for children stays apart from the library for adults. A list of detected renderers shows every connected device, and the configuration file of each device can be edited to fix browsing, playback, or transcoding on an unsupported TV. Builds exist for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with AppImage and Docker options for servers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.
JellyGlance
Running a Jellyfin or Emby server usually means a dozen open tabs; JellyGlance folds your whole media server into one screen you can leave open on a wall. Live sessions show who is watching what, from where, on which client, with direct play or transcode state, codec, bitrate, subtitles, and progress for every stream. Playback history accumulates in its own database, so statistics survive even when the media server forgets: top movies, series, libraries, clients, and users, watch-time trends, activity heatmaps, and weekly, monthly, and yearly recaps rendered as shareable cards. The home dashboard arranges by drag and drop, with presets, density controls, themes, kiosk mode for a wall display, and alert rules. Recently added shelves group by library, while library views surface totals and metadata gaps. Jellyseerr and Overseerr requests appear with poster cards, requester context, and admin actions, and the release calendar pulls upcoming titles from your *arr apps beside the queues of your torrent and Usenet clients, stalled items included. Wizarr invites, Tdarr transcodes, and Maintainerr cleanup connect from the same integrations area. Notifications travel by webhook, Discord, Gotify, and email newsletters, backups export to a plain folder, and sign-in spans local accounts, Jellyfin Quick Connect, and OIDC. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Peach
Peach is a self-hosted video library manager that scrapes rich metadata for your own collection and serves it through a polished web player you can open on any device. Point it at local drives, SMB shares, mounted cloud storage, or a PikPak library and it scans everything into one browsable catalog without moving or modifying your files. The scraper recognizes video codes, reads existing NFO files, and fills in titles, performers, studios, and cover art from multiple sources while always preserving corrections you make by hand. Playback happens right in the browser with subtitle support, variable speed, rotation, resume points, and timeline previews you can scrub through before committing to a scene. A follow system tracks performers and creators so new releases surface automatically, and the discovery views plus a want list help you decide what to add next. When something is missing, search by video code or drop in a magnet link and completed downloads are filed into the library on their own. Tagging, duplicate detection, and multi-version grouping keep large collections tidy, while the task center lets you pause, resume, or cancel scans and downloads and watch their resource use as they run. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0-or-later licensed.
Krawl
Leave a fake door unlocked and see who walks through: Krawl is a self-hosted honeypot that poses as a sloppy web server and records everything scanners and scrapers try. Fake WordPress, phpMyAdmin, and admin logins. Every attempt logged, every credential captured. A .env file leaking fake database strings, AWS keys, and Stripe secrets. SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, XXE, and command injection traps that answer with believable fake output. SQLMap gets a different database error on every request. Malicious crawlers wander an endless maze of random links. An optional tarpit adds delay and word salad that cost scrapers time, storage, and tokens. Optional AI-generated pages write a plausible decoy for any path an attacker requests. A hidden dashboard shows an attacker map, top IPs, captured credentials, and per-IP forensics. TLSH fuzzy hashing groups webshell variants into campaigns. A behavior score labels each IP attacker, bad crawler, good crawler, or regular user. Export bans as raw lists, iptables, or nftables rules, with guides for Fail2Ban, OPNsense, and RouterOS. A canary-token link in decoy pages emails you the IP and user agent of anyone who follows it. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
MyTube
For video enthusiasts and media archivers who want complete ownership over their online video subscriptions, MyTube provides a self-hosted video downloader, library organizer, and streaming portal. Paste a single link or queue a batch of URLs from YouTube, Bilibili, Twitch, MissAV, and over one thousand yt-dlp compatible sites to archive videos directly to your disk. Subscribe to your favorite creators so new uploads download automatically in the background alongside their default language subtitles. Local video uploads automatically generate thumbnails and pull movie or television posters, cast details, release years, and ratings from TMDB. Curate custom collections, filter your catalog by tags or authors, and generate private RSS feed links for external podcast and feed readers. Built-in playback tools include keyboard shortcuts, cinema mode, Canvas-based in-car playback, and optional real-time audio translation with live subtitles via Google Gemini. You can sync finished recordings to Alist or OpenList cloud storage, trigger custom shell scripts on task completion, and receive instant Telegram bot alerts when downloads finish or fail. Share your library safely using read-only visitor accounts while protecting admin controls with WebAuthn passkeys or a 3x3 gesture lock. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Wizarr
Getting non-technical friends and family onto a media server is its most tedious chore - Wizarr solves it. Instead of manually creating accounts, dictating server addresses, and explaining which app to install, you send one invite link. When the recipient clicks it, Wizarr creates their account on your server automatically - Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita, and Romm are all supported - then walks them through a mobile-first, app-like onboarding wizard: download the right client, sign in, and learn how to request movies through your Overseerr or Ombi instance, with an optional Discord server invite along the way. Invitations are genuinely manageable: set expiration dates, usage limits, passphrases, library-scoped access tiers, and time-limited memberships that end access automatically. The wizard itself is fully customizable - Markdown-based steps managed from the admin UI, organized into pre-invite and post-invite phases (terms of service before joining, app setup after), reorderable bundles assignable to specific invitation types, and combined flows for invites spanning multiple servers. Multi-server and multi-admin support manages several backends from one dashboard, SSO support is plug-and-play, and a REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger documentation covers automation. A Flask/HTMX app in a single Docker container.
Jellystat
Jellystat is a self-hosted media analytics and live session monitoring dashboard for Jellyfin and Emby servers that turns raw streaming activity into detailed user, library, and playback insights. Media server administrators use the live dashboard to watch active streams in real time, inspecting transcoding status, client devices, bitrates, and playback progress as sessions happen. Every completed or partial stream is logged automatically so you can browse chronological watch histories, filter by library or stream type, and analyze peak concurrent streaming hours across the week. Dedicated library and user views break down total watch duration, play counts, and most popular movies, episodes, or music albums per account. If you already use the official Jellyfin Playback Reporting or Statistics plugins, you can import existing historical records directly into your instance without losing past data. Built-in database backup and restore tools, automatic library synchronization tasks, IP geolocation via MaxMind GeoLite, and interactive Swagger API documentation at the /swagger endpoint round out the administrative toolkit. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Sonarr
Add a series once, set a quality profile, and everything downstream is automated: Sonarr is the smart PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It monitors RSS feeds from your indexers, detects new episodes the moment they release, sends matching grabs to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, or another download client, then renames files with fully configurable templates, sorts them into consistent folder structures, and notifies Plex, Kodi, or Jellyfin to update the library. Quality profiles define what's acceptable (HDTV, WEB-DL, Blu-ray, up to 4K) and an upgrade cutoff - when a better release appears, Sonarr replaces the existing file automatically, stepping from HDTV to WEB-DL to Blu-ray until the cutoff is met. Custom formats add weighted scoring for finer-grained release selection, with community-maintained TRaSH Guides presets as the widely accepted defaults. Failed downloads are handled without intervention: Sonarr retries with another release, and manual search shows every candidate with the reasons any was rejected. It scans existing libraries for missing episodes, fully supports specials, multi-episode files, and daily and anime series types, and a calendar view shows upcoming episodes across every tracked show. Runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Raspberry Pi, and pairs naturally with Prowlarr for centralized indexer management.
Tautulli
Plex's own dashboard shows current streams and forgets everything else - which is why every Plex server admin eventually installs Tautulli, the analytics layer. This Python web application (descended from PlexWatch and Headphones) logs complete watch history - what was watched, who watched it, when, where, from which device and IP, and whether it played directly or transcoded - and turns it into clean Highcharts graphs of daily plays, concurrent streams, bandwidth, and platform breakdowns. The home page surfaces top statistics over configurable windows: most-watched content, most active users, stream type ratios. For running a server shared with family and friends, this is operational truth: spot the user forcing 4K transcodes on a phone, see which libraries earn their disk space, and track sync activity across users. The notification engine triggers on server events - playback starts, transcode decision changes, recently added media, server down - through dozens of agents (Discord, Telegram, Slack, email, webhooks) with fully customizable text and conditions, plus arbitrary script execution. Scheduled newsletters email your users a styled digest of recently added content. A comprehensive API exposes every statistic for dashboards like Homarr, and an official mobile app monitors activity on the go. Themed to match Plex/Web. GPL-licensed.
Navidrome
Spotify economics without the subscription or catalog gaps: Navidrome, the reference self-hosted music server, streams your own FLAC, MP3, and ALAC collection from a single Go binary with a React/Material UI web player. Its Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API compatibility is the superpower: 50+ existing clients work out of the box, from Symfonium and DSub on Android to Feishin and Sonixd on desktop, plus Android Auto, CarPlay, and Android TV apps. Transcoding is server-managed and FFmpeg-backed - FLAC direct-plays at home and downsamples to MP3, AAC, or Opus over mobile bandwidth, with the OpenSubsonic transcoding extension letting clients declare capabilities and receive per-track direct-play or transcode decisions automatically. Multi-user support gives every account its own play counts, favorites, ratings, and playlists, and multi-library support scopes different collections to different users. The feature list covers serious listening: Last.fm and ListenBrainz scrobbling, artist bios and images, embedded and external lyrics, audiobook bookmarks, saved play queues that resume on another device, internet radio, jukebox mode, and M3U playlist auto-import kept in sync with your folder. Resource usage is famously low - it runs happily on a Raspberry Pi and scales to six-figure track counts.
Lunarr
Lunarr turns the movie and TV folders you already store into a private streaming service with posters, progress tracking, and play-anywhere convenience. Point it at local disks or at libraries living on SFTP and WebDAV servers, and it scans, identifies, and decorates everything with TMDb artwork, cast pages, similar titles, and because-you-watched recommendations. Press play and the file either streams directly or is transcoded on the fly into seekable HLS, generating only the segments around the moment you are watching instead of converting whole films up front. Continue watching follows you between sessions, sidecar subtitles are picked up automatically, and known intros and credits can be skipped. Send the picture to the big screen with Chromecast or AirPlay, pair new devices without typing passwords, and hand a guest a share link instead of your account. Underneath, an admin console manages users, roles, and which libraries each person may see, watches background jobs, and holds API keys and registration settings. Rescans run on schedules you set from minutes to a month, local folders can be watched live for new arrivals, and metadata refreshes itself on a timer. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
OpenMES
Admins, supervisors, and operators each get their own screens in OpenMES, a free self-hosted manufacturing execution system for small factories. Drag work orders across weekly, daily, hourly, and monthly planner views, and any order that stock cannot cover gets flagged. Automatic scheduling drafts a feasible plan from shift calendars, maintenance, and material shortages, and nothing changes until a supervisor applies it, with undo. Work orders carry partial batches, reusable process templates, and priority scores built from customer tier, planned quantity, and hours until due, and CSV or Excel imports bulk-load orders, materials, and recipes. Operators work from touch-optimized tablet queues, where one tap starts, completes, or reports an issue, even offline, and a critical issue halts production automatically. When a machine stops, MQTT, Modbus TCP, or OPC UA signals record the downtime automatically, and the same signals drive good and reject counters and OEE. At goods-in, an inbound inspection records pass or fail criteria and a disposition such as accept, rework, scrap, or quarantine. Material lots track received and available quantities with hold and release status, and the production cost report splits each finished order into material, labor, and additional costs, with CSV export. Supervisors follow the shift on a live monitor. Webhooks, a REST API, and hook-based modules connect OpenMES to ERP systems and custom code. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Streamystats
To uncover deep viewing insights and AI-powered content recommendations across your self-hosted Jellyfin media server, Streamystats delivers a comprehensive analytics and watch-history platform. Once connected to one or more Jellyfin instances using native MediaBrowser authentication, the dashboard tracks live playback sessions, per-user watch durations, device and client breakdowns, and library-wide growth metrics without requiring third-party reporting plugins. You can import existing historical logs from Jellystat or the Playback Reporting plugin so years of viewing habits carry over immediately, then explore interactive watch-time graphs, genre radar charts, actor and director leaderboards, and a yearly Wrapped summary. When you enable vector embeddings through OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google Gemini, Voyage AI, or a local Ollama model, the recommendation engine calculates cosine similarity against your watch history and explains exactly which watched movies or series inspired each suggestion. An integrated AI chat assistant equipped with thirteen specialized function-calling tools lets you search your catalog semantically, ask natural-language questions about your viewing statistics, and generate shared movie recommendations for multiple household members at once. Administrators can also mark titles as watched or unwatched with automatic watch-time inference, manage watchlists over an external API, and connect Janitorr for automated media cleanup. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Nowen Video
Nowen Video turns the hard drive of films and series sitting on your NAS into a streaming service your family actually wants to open, posters, seasons, and all. Point it at your media folders and it scans the usual formats, reads streams with FFprobe, and scrapes rich metadata from TMDb, Douban, TheTVDB, Bangumi, and Fanart.tv, recognizing movie, season, and episode naming as it goes. NFO files and external subtitles are honored, filesystem watching keeps the library current, and collections plus episode navigation make a big archive feel curated rather than dumped. Pressing play is where the engineering shows: a server-side planner decides per client whether to direct play, remux, or transcode to HLS on demand, with automatic fallback when the first choice fails. Hardware acceleration through the GPU keeps transcoding cheap, subtitle and speed controls ride along in the player, and a local analysis pass can surface highlight clips from your own footage. Every family member gets favorites, watch history, and continue-watching progress under their own account, while library permissions decide who sees what. An Emby-compatible API even lets clients like Infuse connect as if it were an Emby server. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Polaris
Whether your personal audio library spans ten thousand lossless FLAC albums or a sprawling hierarchy of studio recordings, Polaris streams your entire music collection to any browser or mobile device with instant responsiveness. You can browse cataloged tracks by album, artist, genre, or raw directory tree without waiting for sluggish page loads. Multi-value metadata indexing cleanly separates collaborations across artists, composers, record labels, and lyricists. A structured query bar filters songs using per-field search operators and boolean combinators. During playback, real-time audio waveform visualizations render signal peaks directly inside the scrubbing bar. Lossless and compressed formats play seamlessly, covering FLAC, MP3, MP4, M4B, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, Musepack, APE, WAV, and AIFF files. Each household listener gets an isolated account with private playlists, dark mode themes, and customizable color palettes. Administrators can edit mount points, user credentials, and dynamic DNS hooks either through the web settings panel or a plain-text configuration file. Mobile listeners can also connect from dedicated Android and iOS companion apps on the go. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
