What is it?

Ombi is a web application for managing media requests on a home media server. Users can request movies, music, whole TV series, individual seasons or single episodes, and administrators can review and manage those requests from one place.

Ombi connects to Plex, Emby and Jellyfin, so it can show whether a requested title is already available or already monitored, and update request status automatically once the item appears on the server. Approved requests can be passed on to services such as Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and CouchPotato, and specific users can be set to have their requests approved automatically.

User accounts can come from plex.tv, Emby or local accounts. The app also includes a landing page showing server availability, custom notification text for users, and a responsive interface that works on mobile devices. It is distributed as Docker images and Windows and Linux builds.
