Seerr is a self-hosted request management and media discovery app for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. It lets people browse available movies and series and submit requests that can be routed to downloaders such as Sonarr and Radarr. It is aimed at home-lab users who want to share a media library with friends or family. It keeps requests visible and auditable without giving requesters direct access to your media server or downloaders.

Platform availability

Available on 6 of 9 platforms

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Finish the first-run setup When Seerr first opens, complete the setup/initialization page before trying other pages; if you skip it, Seerr can stay stuck on setup. This also lets Seerr save your basic settings. source
  • Keep Seerr data in a saved volume For Docker installs, keep Seerr’s app data in a saved volume/folder on your server instead of only inside the container; if you don’t, deleting or recreating the container can wipe settings and requests. source
  • Use port 5055 to reach Seerr Seerr’s web UI and API usually listen on network port 5055, so open that port in your firewall or browse to http://your-server:5055; without it, your browser can’t connect. source

Common questions

Where should Seerr's config be stored in Docker?

Keep its app data in a saved volume or folder on the server, not only inside the container. Otherwise, deleting or recreating the container can wipe settings and requests.

Do I have to complete Seerr's first-run setup before using other pages?

Yes, finish the setup/initialization page first so Seerr can save basic settings. Skipping it can leave Seerr stuck on setup.

Which databases can Seerr use?

Seerr supports PostgreSQL and SQLite databases.

How can I restore admin privileges after restoring Seerr settings?

Start Seerr to force the setup page, complete setup with the same login details and skip service setup, then stop it, restore the backed-up settings.json, and start it again.
