Getting Started

This guide will help you install Tracearr and connect your first media server.

Requirements

A running Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby media server
API access to your media server (API key or token)
Docker installed (for self-hosted deployments)

Choose Your Install Method

Method	Best for
Docker Compose	Terminal users running `docker compose` on the command line
Docker UI	Portainer, Dockge, or similar web-based Docker management tools
Supervised	Unraid and other bare-metal hosts where separate containers aren’t practical
Railway	Cloud hosting with no server to manage

Not sure? Docker Compose is the recommended default. If you manage Docker through a browser, pick Docker UI. If you’re on Unraid, check the Community Apps tab first — Tracearr is available there as a one-click install.

After Installation

Connect your first media server
Import data from Tautulli or Jellystat (optional)
