- Self-hosters with local media libraries
- Worth noticing
- The install example mounts separate /data and /cache volumes, and the page names NAS, Raspberry Pi, and k3s as deployment targets.
Field notes
The setup example uses a Docker image from GitHub Container Registry, exposes port 8080, and mounts the library plus separate data and cache volumes. The page names NAS, Raspberry Pi, and k3s as deployment options, and says fetched TMDB material is cached locally. Its feature list also includes GPU transcoding, HDR tone mapping, and household profiles; these are presented as product capabilities on the homepage, not demonstrated in the extracted page.
