Dim, a self-hosted media manager

[camhutch]

I am a little sad that CI has been failing for all commits merged to master in this repo since 9 Nov 2021. I often use that as an initial gauge as to the quality of a project, and I've got to say, this turns me off.

In this case it seems to just be an auth issue around building a docker image (and the first commit that failed was "Build and push dev image on pushes to master"), but it hasn't passed since, so this is not being tended to.

Yep, you're right, this isn't a very good look. CI should be fixed now tho :).

Hey, this looks excellent. Jellyfin has the killer feature of having the WebOS/Roku TV apps in place, but this looks much nicer UI wise at least for the web.

I maintain a tool that makes it easy to install self-hosted software - I'll be adding this asap!

Jellyfin looks amazing, exactly what I was looking for. (Dim looks cool too)

[Jabihjo]

what's the name of your tool?

I appreciate that OP refrained from adding ”written in Rust” to the title.

Would love to try this. You should provide compiled assets for all major platforms. I don't know how to run this on a Windows machine.

Here's an example how I do it for my project: https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/blob/master/.gith...

And the releases: https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/releases

Binaries would be nice, but the docker solution is an easy win for most platforms. If you don't use it I would highly recommend giving it a shot. In general it makes trying out or playing with new tools really easy.

+1 That looks great. How does it compare to Plex server? I paid for Plex lifetime subscription, and it has everything. But I will definitely try this.

Hey, I'm the maintainer. At the moment Dim is really raw in comparison to plex, there are no clients besides web, and it doesn't display as much data (actors, etc).

A killer feature currently missing in both Plex and Jellyfin could be integration with Radarr/Sonarr

I really hope that some of these media managers start using TOR or similar to talk to the upstream media metadata servers. The fact that TheMovieDB has a really good idea of who has what media on their computers is concerning to me.

Not sure if anyone has said it already. But great work to start something like this. Kudos!

Curious how this compares to Universal Media Server?
