Self-hosted media tracker recommendations? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm looking to keep track of my watchlist/watched list. Found flox, watcharr, and MediaTracker.

Does anyone have experience with these or other alternatives?

I personally use Media Tracker because it's fast and have enough features for me.

Ryot is another one that's good.

Flox hasn't had a commit since 2020. It's not being updated anymore.

Ooh, ryot is really nice! And seems to have a similar feature set to Media Tracker, plus exercise. It's also maintained actively.

Have you used it before? Any warnings?

I have used Ryot for a while. It is nice and has a lot of features. It has documentation, which is really nice.

I am using Media Tracker because it has most of the features I need and it's very fast. I wish it had genre sections like Ryot though. It looks like someone created an issue for it at least. Might go back to Ryot eventually, but we'll see. Luckily Ryot has a Media Tracker import option.

I was wondering why everyone kept talking about Media Tracker being fast. I finally installed RYOT, and wow is it slow, and resource intensive. It's using more than 20% of the CPU on my NAS when it isn't even open!

Yup! Whereas with Media Tracker, everything is pretty much almost instantaneous for me.

Ryot was too slow for me. It's really bad when you try to mark multiple TV series seasons as "seen" at the same time as well.

I wish they built it for windows too.

It is only made for Docker, which you can run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux

I meant bare-metal windows.

Unfortunately, it looks like they deleted the Windows branch in Sept 2023
