## What is it?
## Overview
MMTL is a self-hosted media center for personal libraries, home NAS, and home-theater users.
**MMTL** is a self-hosted private media management system for NAS, mini PCs, family sharing, and multi-device playback. This repository is a maintained fork of [MediaStationGo](https://github.com/ShukeBta/MediaStationGo), extended with stronger cloud playback, task queues, remote mounts, and permission controls.
It helps you:
In practice, MMTL gives you:
- Manage movies, TV shows, anime, variety shows, music, and adult libraries.
- Create multiple user accounts for family members, friends, or different devices.
- Scan files and enrich posters, summaries, years, seasons, and episodes.
- Play in the web UI, or log in with a MMTL account from Emby-protocol apps such as Infuse, VidHub, SenPlayer, and Emby clients.
- Connect qBittorrent for search, subscriptions, downloads, and post-download organization.
- Connect OpenList, CloudDrive2, WebDAV, and other storage backends with STRMURL or 302 redirect playback.
- Run on NAS, mini PCs, VPS, Linux, Windows Docker Desktop, or any Docker-friendly host.
- A modern **web media library**
- An **Emby/Jellyfin-compatible protocol gateway** for third-party players
- A single panel for **local disks, download folders, and cloud storage**
> The project is moving fast. With the default PostgreSQL deployment, back up both `data/` and `postgres/`.
### Key capabilities
---
| Area | Highlights |
| --- | --- |
| **Libraries** | Movies, TV, anime, variety, music, custom libraries; multi-root scanning; poster wall; continue watching |
| **Metadata** | TMDb, Bangumi, Douban, TheTVDB, Fanart, NFO import, manual matching, scrape queue |
| **Playback** | Web player, HLS transcoding, danmaku, subtitles, play profiles, history and favourites |
| **Emby protocol** | Add MMTL in Infuse, SenPlayer, Fileball, etc. and sign in with MMTL accounts |
| **Remote Emby mounts** | Browse remote Emby libraries inside MMTL without a separate Emby client |
| **Cloud & STRM** | OpenList, CloudDrive2, 115, WebDAV; STRM sync; upload/download queues; direct or 302 playback |
| **Downloads & organize** | qBittorrent, site search/subscriptions, post-download organization, file manager |
| **Users & permissions** | Admin/regular users, expiry, NSFW toggle, play-profile PIN, granular permissions |
| **Operations** | Unified task queue, recycle bin, storage stats, DLNA casting, settings and logs |
## Key Highlights
### Tech stack
- **One server, many clients**: deploy MMTL once; you do not need to run a separate Emby server.
- **Emby-protocol compatibility**: add the server in third-party players as an Emby/Jellyfin-compatible server, then log in with your MMTL username and password.
- **Multi-user management**: supports admins, regular users, account enable/disable, expiry dates, device management, Bot registration, and redeem codes.
- **Local + cloud media in one place**: manage local disks, download folders, OpenList, CloudDrive2, WebDAV, and other storage backends from one panel.
- **Download-to-library workflow**: connect qBittorrent for search, subscriptions, download completion organization, and metadata matching.
- **NAS-friendly**: simple Docker Compose deployment. The primary database lives under `postgres/`, while runtime secrets and files live under `data/`.
---
## Who is it for?
- **Beginners** who want to edit one `docker-compose.yml` and start the service.
- **NAS users** who want a low-resource media center for local disks and cloud storage.
- **PT/download users** who want downloads, organization, metadata, and playback in one panel.
- **External-player users** who want to log in to Emby-protocol third-party apps with one MMTL account.
- **Family-sharing users** who want separate user accounts without deploying a separate media server for each person.
- **Developers** who want to study or extend a Go + React self-hosted media app.

## Quick Start
Docker Compose is the recommended path. Beginners do not need `.env`, bare-metal binaries, or source builds. Use the single-image SQLite template if you want the smallest possible setup.
Docker Compose is the recommended path. The repo ships four **standalone** templates; no `.env` is required.
```bash
mkdir -p MMTL
cd MMTL
# Simplest option: one MMTL container + SQLite

# Or tier 1: MMTL + PostgreSQL
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ShukeBta/MMTL/main/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
```
mkdir -p MMTL && cd MMTL
Edit `docker-compose.yml`:
# Simplest: one container with built-in SQLite
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/truewhile/MMTL/main/docker-compose.simple.yml -o docker-compose.yml
```bash
vi docker-compose.yml
```
# Or PostgreSQL tier for multi-user setups
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/truewhile/MMTL/main/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
Start:
```bash
docker compose up -d

## Docker Compose Recommended
## Deployment tiers
The repository `docker-compose.yml` is the lightweight recommended template: no `.env` required, and by default it only starts `MMTL + PostgreSQL`. This is the best starting point for most NAS users.
Pick one compose file. Do **not** stack multiple `-f` files.
If you already have an older `./data/mmtl.db`, the first start with the new compose file automatically imports it into PostgreSQL. Keep `./data`; it still stores the JWT secret, runtime data, and the old SQLite migration source.
| Tier | File | Stack | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Single image | `docker-compose.simple.yml` | MMTL + SQLite | Beginners, single-user, low-resource NAS |
| Tier 1 | `docker-compose.yml` | MMTL + PostgreSQL | Most home NAS deployments |
| Tier 2 | `docker-compose.standard.yml` | + Redis | Multi-user, frequent Emby client refreshes |
| Tier 3 | `docker-compose.search.yml` | + OpenSearch | Very large libraries, advanced full-text search |
### Deployment modes
### Single-image notes
| Mode | Command | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Single image: SQLite | `docker compose -f docker-compose.simple.yml up -d` | Beginners and single-user setups that want one image only, no PostgreSQL/Redis |
| Lightweight: PG only | `docker compose up -d` | Most NAS devices, lowest resource use |
| Standard: PG + Redis | `docker compose -f docker-compose.standard.yml up -d` | Multi-user use and frequent Emby client refreshes |
| Search enhanced: PG + Redis + OpenSearch | `docker compose -f docker-compose.search.yml up -d` | Huge libraries and future standalone search indexing |
- Only one MMTL container; database lives in `./data/mmtl.db`
- Do **not** set `MMTL_DATABASE_DSN` or it switches to PostgreSQL
- Back up `./data`; `./cache` can be rebuilt
Each compose file is standalone. Do not stack multiple `-f` files together.
### PostgreSQL notes
The single-image `docker-compose.simple.yml` runs only MMTL with a built-in SQLite database — the simplest starting point. Do not set `MMTL_DATABASE_DSN` there, or it switches back to PostgreSQL. Move up to the PostgreSQL modes for multi-user or high-concurrency use (keep `./data` when you switch). Redis and OpenSearch are enhancement layers, not source databases. Do not enable OpenSearch by default on low-memory NAS devices.
- Primary DB: `./postgres`; secrets and runtime files: `./data`
- Existing `./data/mmtl.db` migrates automatically on first start
- After migration, point `MMTL_DATABASE_DB_PATH` at a non-existent file to disable re-checks
### Database Choice And Disabling SQLite
### Backup
The current Docker Compose setup uses PostgreSQL by default. SQLite is no longer the primary database in the recommended Docker deployment. The runtime database is controlled by:
```yaml
environment:
MMTL_DATABASE_TYPE: postgres
MMTL_DATABASE_DSN: postgres://mmtl:mmtl@postgres:5432/mmtl?sslmode=disable
```
`MMTL_DATABASE_DB_PATH` is only used as a one-time migration source for old SQLite data:
- Fresh installs: `docker compose up -d` uses PostgreSQL and does not create a new SQLite primary database.
- Upgrades: if `./data/mmtl.db` exists, the first start with the new compose file imports it into PostgreSQL.
- Migration fills missing rows by primary key and skips rows that already exist. If it fails partway through, a later start continues the remaining tables.
- After a successful import, PostgreSQL gets a completion marker in the `settings` table, so the old SQLite file is not imported again.
- Redis is a hot cache and OpenSearch is a search index; neither is a source database.
Recommended SQLite to PostgreSQL upgrade flow:
```bash
docker compose pull mmtl
docker compose up -d --no-deps mmtl
docker compose logs -f mmtl
```
After you see `sqlite data migrated to postgres`, or after the web UI shows your users, libraries, and settings correctly, you can stop using the old SQLite file as a migration source.
To make the deployment PostgreSQL-only after migration, keep PostgreSQL selected and point the old SQLite migration path at a non-existent file:
> Only do this after the web UI confirms that users, libraries, settings, and media rows are already present in PostgreSQL.
```yaml
environment:
MMTL_DATABASE_TYPE: postgres
MMTL_DATABASE_DSN: postgres://mmtl:mmtl@postgres:5432/mmtl?sslmode=disable
MMTL_DATABASE_DB_PATH: /data/disabled-sqlite-migration.db
```
Then rename or move the old host-side SQLite file as an offline backup:
```bash
mv data/mmtl.db data/mmtl.sqlite.bak
```
For bare-metal or custom `config.yaml` deployments, use the same idea:
```yaml
database:
type: postgres
dsn: postgres://mmtl:mmtl@127.0.0.1:5432/mmtl?sslmode=disable
db_path: ""
```
Do not delete `./postgres`. After migration, it is the real primary database. Keep `./data` too, because it stores the JWT secret and runtime files.
### Choose an image source
Both image sources are supported. Pick one and put it in `image:`:
| Source | Image | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) | `ghcr.io/shukebta/mmtl:latest` | Recommended default, follows repository releases |
| Docker Hub | `shukbet/mmtl:latest` | Backup source when GHCR is slow or unavailable |
To pin a version, first confirm the tag exists on the repository Packages page. Use this format:
```yaml
image: ghcr.io/shukebta/mmtl:<version-tag>
# If GHCR does not have that tag, use Docker Hub as the backup:
# image: shukbet/mmtl:MMTL-v0.0.72
```
For the simplest setup, keep GHCR `latest`.
Manual pull examples:
```bash
# GitHub Container Registry
docker pull ghcr.io/shukebta/mmtl:latest
# Docker Hub backup
docker pull shukbet/mmtl:latest
```
Focus on this part:
```yaml
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./cache:/cache
- ./media:/media
- ./downloads:/downloads
```
Meaning:
| Host path | Container path | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `./data` | app `/data` | Settings, JWT secret, old SQLite migration source; the primary DB is under `./postgres` |
| `./cache` | app `/cache` | Cache; safe to clean when needed |
| `./media` | `/media` | Media libraries; use `/media/...` in the web UI |
| `./downloads` | `/downloads` | Download directory and organization source |
| `./postgres` | PostgreSQL `/var/lib/postgresql/data` | New default primary database; back this up |
| `./redis` | Redis `/data` | Used only in standard mode; hot cache, rebuildable |
| `./opensearch` | OpenSearch `/usr/share/opensearch/data` | Used only in search-enhanced mode; higher memory use |
If your NAS paths are:
```text
/vol1/1000/Media
/vol1/1000/Downloads
```
change the compose file to:
```yaml
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./cache:/cache
- /vol1/1000/Media:/media
- /vol1/1000/Downloads:/downloads
environment:
MMTL_MEDIA_DIR: /vol1/1000/Media
MMTL_DOWNLOAD_DIR: /vol1/1000/Downloads
```
Rules:
- The left side of `volumes` is the real path on your host/NAS.
- The right side is the container path. Keep `/media` and `/downloads` unless you know why you are changing them.
- In the web UI, create libraries with container paths such as `/media/Movies` or `/media/TV`.
- Do not write NAS absolute paths as `./vol1/...`; `./` means a folder under the current compose directory.
- On Windows Docker Desktop, paths like `D:/Media:/media` and `D:/Downloads:/downloads` are fine.
- If you only scan/play existing media and never organize into the library, you may add `:ro`; if you use organize/rename/ingest, the media mount must stay writable.
### Minimal compose example

## First-time Setup
1. **Create a library**
- Go to the library page.
- Use a container path such as `/media/Movies`.
- Start a scan.
2. **Connect qBittorrent**
- Go to download client settings.
- If qBittorrent runs on the host, try `http://host.docker.internal:8085`.
3. **Configure metadata providers**
- Go to system settings / external APIs.
- Add TMDb, Bangumi, TheTVDB, Fanart, Douban, or other providers when needed.
4. **Use external players**
- Add the server as an Emby/Jellyfin-compatible server.
- Server URL: `http://SERVER_IP:18080`.
- Use the username and password created in MMTL. No separate Emby server is required.
- Admins can create regular users in the web UI or Bot so each person can log in with their own account.
5. **Use cloud playback**
- Configure OpenList, CloudDrive2, WebDAV, or another provider in storage settings.
- Choose STRMURL or 302 redirect playback in the admin settings.
- The enabled option takes priority. If both are disabled, playback falls back to the normal server playback path.

## Path mapping
The most common Docker mistake is mixing host paths with container paths.
- Left side of `volumes` = real host/NAS path
- Right side = container path; use `/media/...` in the web UI
- Keep `MMTL_MEDIA_DIR` / `MMTL_DOWNLOAD_DIR` aligned with mounts when organizing or ingesting downloads
Example:
```yaml
volumes:
- /vol1/1000/Media:/media
- /vol1/1000/Downloads:/downloads
environment:
MMTL_MEDIA_DIR: /vol1/1000/Media
MMTL_MEDIA_CONTAINER_DIR: /media
MMTL_DOWNLOAD_DIR: /vol1/1000/Downloads
MMTL_DOWNLOAD_CONTAINER_DIR: /downloads
```
The compose templates keep full application logs in `./data/logs/app.log` and split warnings/errors into `warn.log` and `error.log`. Keep `MMTL_LOGGING_LEVEL=info` while diagnosing subscription, site search, organizer, or STRM generation issues; temporarily switch to `debug` only when deeper tracing is needed.
---
Use a writable container path for STRM output, such as `/data/strm` or a mounted media path. Deployments that previously saved `/app/data/strm` are migrated automatically to the configured `MMTL_APP_DATA_DIR`, which defaults to `/data`.
## First-time setup
### Backup
For the default PostgreSQL deployment, back up:
```text
data/
postgres/
```
`postgres/` is the primary database and contains users, libraries, settings, and media metadata. `data/` stores the JWT secret, runtime files, and optional old SQLite migration source.
If you enabled the extended modes, these are optional:
```text
redis/ # hot cache, safe to rebuild
opensearch/ # search index, rebuildable; backing it up can save reindex time on huge libraries
```
`cache/` is usually not important. If you explicitly still use `database.type=sqlite`, the primary database remains `data/mmtl.db`.
### Stop
```bash
docker compose down
```
1. Create a library with a container path such as `/media/Movies`, then scan
2. Add metadata providers (TMDb, Bangumi, etc.) in system settings
3. Optionally connect qBittorrent (`http://host.docker.internal:8085` when qB runs on the host)
4. Optionally configure cloud accounts under STRM management
5. Add the server in Emby-compatible players at `http://SERVER_IP:18080` using MMTL credentials
---
## FAQ
### 1. The web page does not open
**Library scan is slow**
Check path mapping and DB tier. Cloud scans also depend on API limits and folder size.
Check the container:
**qBittorrent downloads are not organized**
Ensure the download directory is mounted into the container and env vars match.
```bash
docker ps
docker compose logs --tail=100 mmtl
```
**Hardlink fails with cross-device link**
Hardlinks require the same filesystem/subvolume; use copy or symlink across disks or cloud mounts.
Then open:
```text
http://SERVER_IP:18080
```
### 2. The library cannot find files
Most cases are path mistakes.
- Docker maps media to `/media`.
- In the web UI, use `/media/Movies`, not the original NAS path.
- Docker maps downloads to `/downloads`; use `/downloads` as the organization source when possible.
### 3. qBittorrent cannot connect
If qBittorrent is on the host, try:
```text
http://host.docker.internal:8085
```
If qBittorrent is on another machine, use that machine's LAN IP.
### 4. NAS CPU usage is high
Suggested settings:
- Set `ffprobe.max_concurrent` to `1`.
- Enable automatic organization, scrape-after-scan, and boot cloud scan only when you really need them.
- Avoid frequent full-library scans on large libraries. Prefer manual scan or scheduled night sync.
### 5. Should I use `.env`?
Beginners should not. Editing `docker-compose.yml` directly is easier to understand.
`.env` is not required by the provided deployment templates. For the single-image template, edit `docker-compose.simple.yml` directly and only adjust the port, volume paths, and optional hardware device mapping.
**External player cannot connect**
Use `http://IP:18080` and a MMTL user account; reverse proxies need correct external URL and HTTPS headers.

| Metadata | NFO, local artwork, TMDb, TheTVDB, Bangumi, Douban, Fanart, JavBus/JavDB |
| Playback | Web playback, HTTP Range, HLS transcoding, direct links, STRMURL, 302 redirect |
| External clients | Emby-protocol compatible APIs; MMTL accounts can log in to third-party players |
| User management | Multi-user accounts, admin/regular users, expiry dates, device management, Bot registration and redeem codes |
| Downloads | qBittorrent, site search, subscriptions, post-download organization |
| File manager | Browse, organize, copy, move, hardlink, symlink |
| Operations | Task queue, recycle bin, duplicate files, notifications, logs |
| AI | OpenAI-compatible API, AI search, recommendations, assistant |
Directory hardlinks are handled by recreating the directory tree and hardlinking
each contained file. Linux cannot hardlink a directory itself. Hardlinks still
require the source and target files to be on the same filesystem/subvolume from
inside the container; if media and downloads are separate bind mounts, disks,
btrfs subvolumes, or cloud mounts, use copy or symlink instead.
## Development
Regular users should use Docker. Developers can run:
The backend embeds `web/dist` via `go:embed`. Build the frontend first.
```bash
go run ./cmd/server
```
npm --prefix web ci
npm --prefix web run build
Frontend:
```bash
cd web
npm install
npm run dev
```
Tests:
```bash
go test ./...
cd web && npm run build
go run ./cmd/server
npm --prefix web run dev
```
