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?
