--- ## ✨ Overview MediaStationGo is an open-source media center for personal libraries, family NAS setups, and home-theater enthusiasts. It combines library management, metadata scraping, web playback, third-party client compatibility, PT site search, subscription-based downloads, and AI-assisted recommendations into one lightweight Go service with a polished React interface. It is designed for users who want to: - Manage movies, TV shows, anime, variety shows, adult content, and music from one place. - Prefer local NFO/images first, then enrich missing metadata from TMDb, Douban, Bangumi, TheTVDB, Fanart, JavBus, and JavDB. - Search PT sites, subscribe to resources, enqueue downloads, and organize completed files from one panel. - Connect external clients such as Infuse, VidHub, SenPlayer, and other Emby/Jellyfin-compatible apps. - Deploy easily on NAS, Windows, Linux, macOS, or Docker without leaking private tracker tokens to the frontend. > The project is under active development. For production use, pin a release image tag and back up `/data` regularly. --- ## 🌱 Open Source Promise MediaStationGo follows a fully open-source path. The core media library, metadata scraping, playback, subscriptions, downloads, external-client compatibility, and operations features are developed in this repository. The project learns from excellent open-source projects such as MoviePilot in areas like site aggregation, subscription downloads, post-download organization, and Emby/Jellyfin client compatibility, while keeping MediaStationGo as an independent implementation and avoiding incompatible code reuse. The current base license is `GPL-3.0`, and contributions are welcome under that license: site adapters, scraping rules, UI improvements, documentation, and bug fixes all help the project grow. The maintainers also state the intended usage boundary: MediaStationGo is provided for personal learning, home NAS, self-hosted media, and non-commercial scenarios. Without explicit written permission from the author, do not use this project or derivative versions for commercial resale, paid hosting, paid SaaS, pre-installed commercial devices, closed-source redistribution, or other profit-oriented commercial use. > Note: GPL-3.0 is a free software license, and the formal grant is defined by the repository [LICENSE](LICENSE) file. The non-commercial commitment above expresses the maintainer's intended usage boundary and commercial cooperation requirements. For commercial cooperation, enterprise deployment, or redistribution, contact the author for additional authorization first. ### Source Availability and Docker Support Boundary - The public repository currently uses `GPL-3.0` as its base license. If a component is GPL-derived, distributing it only as a Docker image does not remove the corresponding source-distribution obligations. - The project can still define its official support scope as **Docker-first / Docker-only support**: Docker Compose, GHCR images, and container deployment docs are maintained as the supported path, while bare-metal binaries can be community/best-effort. - If some future functionality needs to be closed-source, keep it as a separate plugin, private service, or independently implemented module whose license boundary is clean. GPL-covered code should remain available under GPL terms. - The README non-commercial statement describes the maintainer's intended usage boundary and commercial authorization requirement; the formal code license remains governed by [LICENSE](LICENSE). --- ## 🚀 Live Demo - Demo: [https://mgo.3jzs.com](https://mgo.3jzs.com) - Username: `admin` - Password: `admin123` > The demo is for feature preview only.

Create a deployment directory ```bash mkdir -p ~/MediaStationGo cd ~/MediaStationGo mkdir -p data cache media downloads ``` #### 2. Download compose ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ShukeBta/MediaStationGo/main/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml ``` If GitHub Raw is slow, create `docker-compose.yml` manually and paste the template from the repository root. #### 3. Create `.env` Only change these two directories: ```bash cat > .env <<'EOF' MEDIASTATION_MEDIA_DIR=/your-nas/media MEDIASTATION_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/your-nas/downloads MEDIASTATION_HTTP_PORT=18080 TZ=Asia/Shanghai PUID=1000 PGID=1000 EOF ``` | Variable | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `MEDIASTATION_MEDIA_DIR` | Real host/NAS media directory, e.g. `/volume1/media`, `/mnt/media` | | `MEDIASTATION_DOWNLOAD_DIR` | Real host/NAS download directory, e.g. `/volume1/downloads`, `/mnt/downloads` | > Do not write NAS absolute paths as `./vol1/...`. A leading `./` means a directory under the current compose project. #### 4. Start ```bash docker compose pull docker compose up -d ``` If your system only has the legacy command: ```bash docker-compose pull docker-compose up -d ``` #### 5. Open the app ```text http://:18080 ``` Default account: ```text admin / admin123 ``` Change the admin password immediately after first login. #### 6. Paths inside the web UI The simple compose maps host directories to stable container paths: | Host directory | Container path | Use in the web UI | | --- | --- | --- | | `MEDIASTATION_MEDIA_DIR` | `/media` | `/media/Movies`, `/media/TV`, `/media/TV/CDrama` | | `MEDIASTATION_DOWNLOAD_DIR` | `/downloads` | Downloader save root: `/downloads` | This is a Docker bind mount. It does not copy files and does not consume double disk space. #### 7. Update Use the update helper to pull the new image and remove old MediaStationGo image layers: ```bash curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ShukeBta/MediaStationGo@main/scripts/docker-compose-update.sh -o docker-compose-update.sh chmod +x docker-compose-update.sh ./docker-compose-update.sh ``` #### Advanced options The default compose intentionally stays small. For host-path direct mode, Telegram proxy variables, hardware acceleration, and additional transcoding options, see: ```text docker-compose.advanced.yml ``` ### Fixed Version Deployment For production, pin a release tag in `.env`: ```env MEDIASTATION_IMAGE_TAG=MediaStationGo-v0.0.32 ``` Then run: ```bash docker compose pull docker compose up -d ``` ### External Network and v2rayA If your NAS already uses v2rayA redirect / transparent proxy with routing rules, MediaStationGo usually does not need extra `HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY` variables. Avoid stacking proxy variables in `.env`, `docker-compose.yml`, or the Docker daemon unless you intentionally use an application-level proxy. Stacked proxies can break GHCR pulls and site APIs. ### qBittorrent URL If qBittorrent runs on the same NAS/host, do not use `127.0.0.1` from inside MediaStationGo. Use: ```text http://host.docker.internal:8085 ``` If qBittorrent also runs in Docker, mount the same host download directory as `/downloads` in both containers. Use `/downloads` as the subscription save root. With smart classification enabled, downloads are saved to folders such as `/downloads/动画电影`, `/downloads/国产剧`, and `/downloads/综艺`. --- ## 🐳 Docker Compose Configuration The default repository `docker-compose.yml` is intentionally simple. Most users only need these variables: | Variable | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `MEDIASTATION_IMAGE_TAG` | `latest` | Image tag. Pin a release for production. | | `MEDIASTATION_HTTP_PORT` | `18080` | Host access port | | `MEDIASTATION_DATA_DIR` | `./data` | Persistent data directory | | `MEDIASTATION_CACHE_DIR` | `./cache` | Image and transcoding cache | | `MEDIASTATION_MEDIA_DIR` | `./media` | Host media library root; on NAS use an absolute path such as `/your-nas/media` | | `MEDIASTATION_DOWNLOAD_DIR` | `./downloads` | Host download target; on NAS use an absolute path such as `/your-nas/downloads` | | `PUID` / `PGID` | `1000` / `1000` | Linux/NAS file permission mapping | | `TZ` | `Asia/Shanghai` | Container timezone | View logs: ```bash docker logs -f mediastation-go ``` Update: ```bash curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ShukeBta/MediaStationGo@main/scripts/docker-compose-update.sh -o docker-compose-update.sh chmod +x docker-compose-update.sh ./docker-compose-update.sh ``` Note: plain `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` switches to the new image but does not remove old images. The helper keeps the currently running MediaStationGo image, removes unused older images from the same repository, and runs `docker image prune -f` for dangling layers. To aggressively remove all unused images, run `PRUNE_ALL_UNUSED=1 ./docker-compose-update.sh`. Stop: ```bash docker compose down ``` Back up data: ```bash tar -czf mediastationgo-data-backup.tgz ./data ``` --- ## 🖥️ One-Click Deployment Scripts If you do not want Docker, run MediaStationGo directly on the host. The scripts build the frontend, compile the backend, start the service, and verify `/api/health`. ### Linux / macOS ```bash git clone https://github.com/ShukeBta/MediaStationGo.git cd MediaStationGo chmod +x scripts/deploy.sh PORT=18080 DATA_DIR=/opt/mediastation/data CACHE_DIR=/opt/mediastation/cache ./scripts/deploy.sh ``` ### Windows PowerShell ```powershell git clone https://github.com/ShukeBta/MediaStationGo.git cd MediaStationGo .\scripts\deploy.ps1 -Port 18080 -DataDir D:\MediaStationGo\data -CacheDir D:\MediaStationGo\cache ``` The scripts will: 1. Install frontend dependencies and build `web/dist` 2. Compile the Go backend into `bin/` 3. Create data and cache directories 4. Stop any previous process and start a new one 5. Verify the service through `/api/health` --- ## 🧩 Release Package Deployment Each release provides multi-platform archives: | Platform | Package example | | --- | --- | | Linux x86_64 | `MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-linux-amd64.tar.gz` | | Linux ARM64 | `MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-linux-arm64.tar.gz` | | Windows x86_64 | `MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-windows-amd64.zip` | | macOS Intel | `MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-darwin-amd64.tar.gz` | | macOS Apple Silicon | `MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` | Linux example: ```bash tar -xzf MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-linux-amd64.tar.gz cd MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-linux-amd64 MEDIASTATION_APP_PORT=18080 ./mediastation-go ``` Windows example: ```powershell Expand-Archive .\MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-windows-amd64.zip cd .\MediaStationGo-v0.0.32-windows-amd64 $env:MEDIASTATION_APP_PORT = "18080" .\mediastation-go.exe ``` > Release binaries listen on `8080` by default. Set `MEDIASTATION_APP_PORT=18080` as shown above if you want the same port as the Docker examples. --- ## 🛠️ Local Development ### Requirements | Component | Version | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | | Go | 1.25+ | Backend build and tests | | Node.js | 20+ | Frontend build | | FFmpeg / ffprobe | Recommended | Media probing and transcoding | | Docker | Optional | Container deployment and multi-arch builds | | qBittorrent | Optional | Download integration testing | ### Build Locally ```bash cp config.example.yaml config.yaml cd web npm ci npm run build cd .. go build -o bin/mediastation-go ./cmd/server ./bin/mediastation-go ``` Windows: ```powershell Copy-Item config.example.yaml config.yaml Set-Location web npm ci npm run build Set-Location .. go build -o bin\mediastation-go.exe .\cmd\server .\bin\mediastation-go.exe ``` ### Common Commands ```bash make build # Build frontend and backend make test # Run Go tests make smoke # Smoke test make docker # docker compose up -d make deploy # Linux one-click deploy make docker-push # Multi-arch buildx push ``` --- ## 🏗️ Repository Layout ```text MediaStationGo/ ├── cmd/server/ # Server entry point ├── internal/ │ ├── config/ # Config loading and defaults │ ├── database/ # SQLite initialization and migrations │ ├── handler/ # HTTP API, Emby API, admin endpoints │ ├── middleware/ # Auth, permission, logging middleware │ ├── model/ # GORM models │ ├── repository/ # Data access layer │ └── service/ # Scanner, scraper, playback, downloads, subscriptions ├── web/ │ ├── public/ # favicon and static public assets │ ├── src/ # React pages, components, API clients, stores │ └── dist/ # Frontend build output, ignored by git ├── scripts/ # Deploy, package, Docker scripts ├── docs/ # Design docs, screenshots, architecture notes ├── docker-compose.yml # Default Docker Compose deployment ├── Dockerfile # Multi-stage image build ├── config.example.yaml # Config template └── README.md / README_EN.md # Documentation ``` --- ## ⚙️ Configuration Configuration precedence, from low to high: 1. Built-in defaults 2. `config.yaml` 3. `config/*.yaml` 4. `MEDIASTATION_` environment variables 5. Runtime settings stored in the database Common variables: | Variable | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `MEDIASTATION_APP_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Listen address | | `MEDIASTATION_APP_PORT` | `8080` | Listen port | | `MEDIASTATION_APP_WEB_DIR` | `./web/dist` | Frontend static bundle | | `MEDIASTATION_APP_DATA_DIR` | `./data` | App data directory | | `MEDIASTATION_DATABASE_DB_PATH` | `./data/mediastation.db` | SQLite database path | | `MEDIASTATION_CACHE_CACHE_DIR` | `./cache` | Image/transcode cache | | `MEDIASTATION_SECRETS_JWT_SECRET` | Auto-generated | JWT and encrypted settings seed | | `MEDIASTATION_APP_CORS_ORIGINS` | empty | Extra CORS origins | | `MEDIASTATION_TELEGRAM_API_BASE_URL` | `https://api.telegram.org` | Telegram Bot API base URL; use a reverse proxy when Telegram is blocked or slow | | `MEDIASTATION_TELEGRAM_PROXY_URL` | empty | Telegram outbound proxy, e.g. `http://172.17.0.1:7890` or `socks5://172.17.0.1:1080` | Runtime settings from the admin UI: - API keys: TMDb, Bangumi, TheTVDB, Fanart, OpenAI Compatible. - Sites: M-Team, NexusPHP, Unit3D, custom RSS. - Download clients: qBittorrent, Transmission, Aria2. - Notifications: Telegram, Bark, Webhook, Email. Telegram channels can use a per-channel API base URL or proxy, and test errors redact Bot Tokens automatically. - Playback profiles, permissions, scheduler tasks, storage settings. --- ## 👥 Users and Permissions - The default administrator is created on first startup as `admin / admin123`. This account can be renamed, but it cannot be deleted or demoted and always keeps the highest privileges. - The open-source edition allows up to 20 users by default to reduce abuse on home NAS or public test instances. Binding a private license server can raise the quota according to the activated license policy. - Users created from the admin panel are “viewer users” by default: they can log in through the Web UI and Emby-compatible clients, browse libraries, play media, use external players, favorite items, and keep watch history. - Viewer users cannot scan libraries, rescrape metadata, delete media, probe media tracks, export NFO files, manage files, manage STRM links, manage download clients, create download tasks, or create/run subscriptions. - Because playback necessarily streams media data to the client, MediaStationGo can block download-management features and torrent/download tasks, but it cannot fully prevent an authorized browser or external player from saving an already authorized stream at the protocol level. --- ## 🔐 Private License Server MediaStationGo includes a server-side bridge for the private standalone `MediaStationLicenseServer`: - License server: `ShukeBta/MediaStationLicenseServer`; a local backup may live at `C:\Users\Administrator\WorkBuddy\license_server_backup`. - MediaStationGo exposes `/api/license/activate`, `/api/license/status`, and `/api/license/heartbeat`; these backend routes proxy the License Server and do not expose the HMAC secret to browsers. - License Server public endpoints are `/api/v1/activate`, `/api/v1/status/:fingerprint`, and `/api/v1/heartbeat`. - Configure `license.server_url` and `license.hmac_secret` under Settings → License Server, then bind a key on the License page. - Without a valid license, MediaStationGo stays in open-source mode. With a valid license, the current implementation raises the user quota to the licensed tier. Example environment variables: ```bash MEDIASTATION_LICENSE_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8001 MEDIASTATION_LICENSE_HMAC_SECRET=must-match-LICENSE_HMAC_SECRET ``` --- ## 🎞️ On-Demand FFmpeg / ffprobe MediaStationGo does not keep `ffmpeg` or `ffprobe` running as resident daemons. They are launched only when needed: - `ffprobe` runs during library scanning or manual media-track probing. - `ffmpeg` runs when browser direct play is not suitable and HLS transcoding is required. - Admin tool-status checks or manual tool installation may briefly execute version checks/install logic. When playback stops, a transcode job is cancelled, or the service shuts down, the corresponding transcoding process is stopped. If there is no scanning, probing, or transcoding, `ffmpeg/ffprobe` should not continuously consume CPU. The default HLS profile is NAS-friendly: `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_ENABLED=true` is the global switch, and disabling it prevents ffmpeg transcode jobs from starting; `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_HARDWARE_ACCEL=false` is the hardware acceleration switch, and hardware encoders are used only when it is enabled together with `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_ENCODER=nvenc/qsv/vaapi`; `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_REALTIME=true` throttles input to playback speed, `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_THREADS=2` caps software encoding threads, `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_MAX_CONCURRENT=1` limits simultaneous transcodes, and `MEDIASTATION_TRANSCODER_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=120` stops ffmpeg after the player stops requesting segments. --- ## 🔍 Metadata Strategy MediaStationGo avoids unnecessary repeated scraping and tries not to overwrite good local metadata: 1. Read local NFO, poster, fanart, season poster, and episode images first. 2. Parse media type, title, year, season, and episode from file paths. 3. Fill missing data through TMDb, TheTVDB, Bangumi, and Douban. 4. Use Fanart.tv for higher-quality artwork when available. 5. Adult content prefers local NFO/images, then enriches from public JavBus/JavDB pages. 6. Existing local metadata is not blindly overwritten. Recommended layout: ```text /media/Movies/Inception (2010)/Inception (2010).mkv /media/TV/Some Show/Season 01/Some Show S01E01.mkv /media/Anime/Anime Title/Season 01/Anime Title S01E01.mkv /media/Variety/Show Name/Season 2026/Show Name S2026E01.mkv /media/Adult/ABCD-123/ABCD-123.mp4 ``` Common local artwork names: ```text poster.jpg fanart.jpg folder.jpg season01-poster.jpg S01E01-thumb.jpg movie.nfo tvshow.nfo episode.nfo ``` ### Smart Classification Directory Rules MediaStationGo separates download classification from final media organization: 1. Download stage: subscriptions and site-search downloads are saved under the downloader root by category. 2. Organization stage: manual or automatic organization moves files into the media library root, then into type and category folders. Recommended host directories: ```text /your-nas/downloads /your-nas/media/电影 /your-nas/media/电视剧 ``` Container paths: ```text /downloads /media/电影 /media/电视剧 ``` Download classification examples: ```text /downloads/动画电影 /downloads/国产剧 /downloads/国漫 /downloads/华语电影 /downloads/日番 /downloads/外语电影 /downloads/综艺 ``` Organized media examples: ```text /media/电视剧/国产剧/Show Name (2026)/Season 01/Show Name - S01E01 - 第 1 集.mkv /media/电视剧/国漫/Anime Name (2026)/Season 01/Anime Name - S01E01 - 第 1 集.mkv /media/电视剧/欧美剧/Show Name (2026)/Season 01/Show Name - S01E01 - 第 1 集.mkv /media/电视剧/日番/Anime Name (2026)/Season 01/Anime Name - S01E01 - 第 1 集.mkv /media/电视剧/日韩剧/Show Name (2026)/Season 01/Show Name - S01E01 - 第 1 集.mkv /media/电视剧/综艺/Variety Name (2026)/Season 2026/Variety Name - S2026E01 - 第 1 集.mp4 /media/电影/动画电影/Movie Name (2026)/Movie Name (2026) - 1080p.mkv /media/电影/华语电影/Movie Name (2026)/Movie Name (2026) - 1080p.mkv /media/电影/外语电影/Movie Name (2026)/Movie Name (2026) - 1080p.mkv ``` If the library root is set directly to `/media`, the organizer automatically adds the `电影/` or `电视剧/` type folder when smart classification is enabled. If the library root is already `/media/电影` or `/media/电视剧`, it will not add the type folder again. Automatic and manual organization are separate switches: - `downloads.smart_classify`: controls whether subscription/site-search downloads are automatically routed into category-specific save paths and qB categories; enabled by default. - `organizer.smart_classify`: controls smart category folders only. - `organizer.auto_after_download` / `organize.auto`: controls whether completed downloads are organized automatically. - If auto organization is disabled, use the Tools page to organize a library or a single media item manually. ### Organization and Scraping Naming Templates Use separate organization templates by media type. TV shows, anime, and variety shows should keep title, year, season folder, season/episode number, and episode title. Movies should keep title, year, part marker, and video format. Recommended template for TV / anime / variety: ```jinja {{title}}{% if year %} ({{year}}){% endif %}/Season {{season}}/{{title}} - {{season_episode}}{% if part %}-{{part}}{% endif %}{% if episode %} - 第 {{episode}} 集{% endif %}{{fileExt}} ``` Example output: ```text Some Show (2024)/Season 01/Some Show - S01E01 - 第 1 集.mkv Some Anime (2025)/Season 02/Some Anime - S02E03 - 第 3 集.mkv Some Variety (2026)/Season 2026/Some Variety - S2026E01 - 第 1 集.mp4 ``` Recommended template for movies: ```jinja {{title}}{% if year %} ({{year}}){% endif %}/{{title}}{% if year %} ({{year}}){% endif %}{% if part %}-{{part}}{% endif %}{% if videoFormat %} - {{videoFormat}}{% endif %}{{fileExt}} ``` Example output: ```text Inception (2010)/Inception (2010) - 1080p.mkv Dune (2021)/Dune (2021)-CD1 - 2160p.mkv ``` Common variables: | Variable | Description | | --- | --- | | `title` | Media title, preferably from local NFO or online metadata | | `year` | Year, appended when available | | `season` | Season number, used for `Season 01` folders | | `season_episode` | Season/episode code, such as `S01E01` or `S2026E01` | | `episode` | Episode number, used for Chinese episode titles | | `part` | Part marker, such as `CD1` or `Part1` | | `videoFormat` | Video format, such as `1080p`, `2160p`, or `WEB-DL` | | `fileExt` | Original file extension, such as `.mkv` or `.mp4` | --- ## 🔎 Discovery, Search & Subscriptions ### Multi-source discovery Discover supports: - TMDb: trending, popular movies, popular TV, top-rated movies. - Douban: hot movies, top movies, hot TV. - Bangumi: calendar and anime entries. ### Smart search Smart search can combine: - Existing local library content. - Online results from TMDb, Douban, and Bangumi. - Subscription keywords and media types. ### Subscription rules | Rule | Description | | --- | --- | | Media type | Movie, TV, anime, variety, or auto-detect | | Search mode | Keyword or IMDB ID | | Resolution | Best, 2160p, 1080p, 720p | | Quality | REMUX, BluRay, WEB-DL, HDTV | | Effects | HDR, Dolby Vision, Atmos | | Release groups | Preferred release groups | | Exclude words | Filter CAM, TS, low-quality releases | | Wash | Disabled by default; can prioritize resolution, quality, effects, or seeders | Download and subscription cards show only safe display metadata such as title, poster, speed, progress, and size. Raw torrent URLs are hidden to prevent tracker token leaks in multi-user deployments. --- ## 🔌 External Clients & Emby Compatibility MediaStationGo exposes Emby/Jellyfin-style APIs for clients such as: - Infuse - VidHub - SenPlayer - Other Emby/Jellyfin-compatible players Server URL: ```text http://:18080 ``` If a client cannot connect, check: 1. Docker port mapping, typically `18080:8080`. 2. Firewall access from LAN to port `18080`. 3. Username/password. 4. Reverse proxy handling of `/api`, video streams, and Range requests. ### Functional Reference to MoviePilot For external-client compatibility and media workflow integration, MediaStationGo references MoviePilot's mature product direction: a unified media library, subscription downloads, post-download organization, and Emby/Jellyfin-compatible APIs that connect the Web management interface with clients such as Infuse, VidHub, and SenPlayer. MediaStationGo does not aim to replace Emby/Jellyfin; instead, it provides the common browsing, playback, poster wall, season/episode hierarchy, progress tracking, and external-client access capabilities inside a lightweight Go service. Current compatibility focus: - Library, collection, season, and episode hierarchy output. - Basic metadata output such as posters, backdrops, descriptions, year, and ratings. - Stream URLs, HTTP Range support, playback progress, and resume. - Emby/Jellyfin-style endpoints required for external-client login, browsing, and playback. Still being improved: - More complete Emby/Jellyfin device capability negotiation. - More detailed transcoding profiles and subtitle capability declarations. - Multi-user permissions, library filtering, and playback-history synchronization. - Closed-loop integration with subscriptions, post-download organization, and upgrade rules. > MoviePilot is licensed under GPL-3.0. MediaStationGo references its public product ideas and interaction patterns only, and does not copy private data, secrets, tracker accounts, or incompatible implementations. --- ## 🧠 AI and External Services Configure external services in the admin UI: | Service | Purpose | | --- | --- | | TMDb | Movie/TV posters, backdrops, descriptions | | Bangumi | Anime and Chinese anime metadata | | TheTVDB | Additional TV/season/episode metadata | | Fanart.tv | High-quality logos and artwork | | Douban | Chinese movie/TV search and recommendation supplement | | OpenAI Compatible | AI search, recommendations, operations assistant | For M-Team, use an API Access Token: ```text Control Panel → Lab → Access Token HTTP Header: x-api-key ``` Avoid using cookies for open API calls to reduce account risk. --- --- ## 🔐 Privacy and Safety The repository ignores personal/runtime data by default: - `data/`, `cache/`, `logs/` - `.tmp-deploy-data/`, `.tmp-deploy-server.*` - `.mediastation.pid` - `config.yaml`, `.env*` - `*.db`, `*.db-wal`, `*.log` - `web/dist/`, `node_modules/`, `bin/` - API keys, cookies, tokens, passwords, certificates, and secret files Before pushing, run: ```bash git status --short git ls-files | grep -E 'data/|cache/|\.db|\.log|jwt_secret|config.yaml|\.env|token|apikey|password' || true ``` --- ## ❓ FAQ ### Pulling the GHCR image fails with `EOF`. `EOF` usually means the connection from your server/NAS to GHCR was interrupted. It is normally a network or registry connectivity issue, not a compose syntax issue. Try: ```bash # 1. Clear any stale GHCR login state docker logout ghcr.io || true # 2. Pull the image directly docker pull ghcr.io/shukebta/mediastation-go:latest # 3. On x86_64/AMD64 hosts, retry with an explicit platform docker pull --platform linux/amd64 ghcr.io/shukebta/mediastation-go:latest # 4. Start after the pull succeeds docker compose up -d ``` If the server is behind a restricted network, configure a Docker daemon proxy that can reach GHCR. A shell-only proxy is often not inherited by the Docker service. The default compose file uses `pull_policy: missing` to avoid contacting GHCR on every container restart. If your media path is an absolute NAS path, use `/your-nas/...` instead of `./your-nas/...`; the latter is relative to the compose directory. ### The Docker deployment starts but the browser cannot open the site. Check container status and logs: ```bash docker ps docker logs -f mediastation-go ``` Use the host port, usually `http://:18080`. ### External clients report that the server does not respond. Check firewall rules, Docker port mappings, reverse proxy configuration, and LAN access to `18080`. The container listens on `8080`; the host default is `18080`. ### Posters are missing. Check: 1. Local `poster.jpg`, `fanart.jpg`, and NFO files. 2. TMDb / Bangumi / Douban connectivity. 3. Proxy settings if the host is behind a restricted network. 4. Whether file names contain clear title, year, season, and episode information. ### Why are raw download URLs hidden? PT download URLs often include private tokens. Download and subscription views intentionally hide raw URLs and only show safe metadata such as title, poster, speed, progress, and size. ### Which Docker package should be kept? Keep `ghcr.io/shukebta/mediastation-go`. The old `mediastationgo` package can be removed to avoid users pulling the wrong image. --- ## 🗺️ Roadmap - Broader Emby/Jellyfin client compatibility. - Stronger adult metadata handling from local files and public pages. - More granular subscription wash and post-download organization rules. - Better mobile and TV interaction patterns. - Plugin-style site adapters and notification providers. - More end-to-end tests and automated screenshot generation. --- ## 🤝 Contributing Issues, pull requests, site adapters, scraping rules, UI improvements, and documentation fixes are welcome.
