Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I’m looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.

So far, I’ve found:

  • devfake/flox - the original, hasn’t been updated in 5 years
  • Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
  • MediaTracker - “highly inspired by flox” and also tracks books and computer games

These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you’re watching.

Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker’s README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?

EDIT: Suggestions from this thread:

    I’d like to track these things:

    • movies/shows I’d like to see at some point
    • movies/shows I have in my collection
    • movies/shows I have watched (and when/how often)
      • and they should automatically get removed from the watchlist once watched

    I believe TMDB only does the first. And self-hosting makes sure the data stays under my control and the service doesn’t vanish or gets paywalled anytime soon.
