Mediagg Arr Stack · macOS and Linux

No server yet? Make one in three questions

Mediagg Arr Stack turns a Mac, a Raspberry Pi or any Linux computer into a home media server. One command installs what you choose — Jellyfin, Emby or Plex, Navidrome for music, Audiobookshelf for audiobooks, and the services that find and fetch more — sets each one up and connects them to each other. Everyone in the house gets a login of their own, and one six-digit code hands the lot to Mediagg on each phone and TV.

$curl -fsSL https://mediagg.app/install.sh | sh

Paste it into a terminal — on the computer itself, or over SSH. Free and open source, runs in Docker, removable in one go. Windows to follow.

How it works

1
Run one commandChoose a folder for your films. Docker is added if it is missing.
2
Answer three questionsWhere you watch and listen, what fetches more — and a login for everyone in the house.
3
Press InstallEach service is set up and connected for you, with a real progress bar.
4
Type one code in MediaggOr scan it. Every server is added at once, signed in as that person, and follows the computer if its address changes.
