# Magent
Self-hosted media requests, viewing stats and issue management for Jellyfin,
Seerr, Sonarr, Radarr and related services. Magent combines a Python/FastAPI API,
a Next.js frontend and SQLite. Run the prebuilt non-root container or install
the Python and Node.js services directly—Portainer is optional.
## Install
Start with the [installation guide](docs/INSTALLATION.md) to choose a method:
| Method | Instructions |
| --- | --- |
| Docker Compose or `docker run` | [Docker installation](docs/DOCKER.md) |
| Portainer | [Single-file stack](docs/PORTAINER.md) |
| Linux without Docker | [Native install and systemd services](docs/NATIVE_INSTALL.md) |
| Windows/macOS/Linux foreground | [Source installation and development](docs/LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md) |
For a fresh **Docker Compose** install, download [compose.yml](compose.yml) into
its own deployment directory and run:
```sh
docker compose -f compose.yml -p magent pull
docker compose -f compose.yml -p magent up -d --wait --wait-timeout 120
docker compose -f compose.yml -p magent ps
docker compose -f compose.yml -p magent exec --user magent magent python -m app.container_bootstrap setup-token
```
Keep that directory/project name and its persistent volume unchanged for updates.
This uses `rephl3xnz/magent:latest` with no environment variables, local source
build or Dockerfile. Portainer users can paste the same file into a Docker
Standalone stack instead. Native users follow their separate guide for explicit
environment configuration and service management.
**Image availability:** the managed-install image is published on Docker Hub.
Only Linux/amd64 has been validated. `latest` is mutable; record the resolved
image digest before updating, or pin an immutable release tag.
1. Wait for the container to become healthy and retrieve the token using the
command above (or the Portainer console instructions in its guide).
2. Open the Docker host's address on port 3000. Confirm the browser-facing URL
in setup and use the token to create the first administrator.
The **Get setup token** button shows the console instructions and lets you
copy the command; it never reveals the token to public visitors.
3. Connect your apps, choose preferences and finish setup. Optional apps can
be skipped. Save an encrypted backup afterwards.
Keep the Compose security block unchanged. Database storage is fixed at
`/app/data/magent.db` and API docs are disabled in managed installs. CORS and
cookie security follow the confirmed URL. Use HTTPS before public access.
See [all installation methods](docs/INSTALLATION.md),
[all environment options](docs/ENVIRONMENT.md),
[backup and restore](docs/installation-and-recovery.md) and
[advanced installation/upgrades](docs/PUBLIC_RELEASE.md).
Existing installations must retain their original data volume and signing/
encryption keys; this fresh-install template is not an automatic migration.
## Build and test
The source tree contains everything needed to build the application:
```sh
docker compose -f compose.yml -f compose.build.yml -p magent up -d --build
```
For a disposable verification run, without touching an existing installation:
```sh
docker build -t magent:review .
bash scripts/ci_container_smoke.sh magent:review
MAGENT_SMOKE_MANAGED=true bash scripts/ci_container_smoke.sh magent:review
```
Unit checks require Python 3.14 and Node 24:
```sh
python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r backend/requirements-dev.txt
python -m unittest discover -s backend/tests -p 'test_*.py'
python scripts/check_environment_docs.py
cd frontend
npm ci
npm test
npm run lint
npm run format:check
npm run typecheck
```
On Windows, activate `.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1` instead. Do not point tests
at live services or use production credentials.
## How it is organised
- `backend/app/routers/`: authenticated API endpoints and administration.
- `backend/app/clients/`: media-service clients; `services/`: request states,
synchronisation, notifications, setup and encrypted backups.
- `backend/app/db.py` and `schema_migrations.py`: SQLite persistence/migrations.
- `frontend/app/`: pages and shared interface components; `frontend/proxy.ts`:
browser security headers and request nonces.
- `backend/tests/` and frontend `*.test.*`: synthetic regression tests.
- `Dockerfile` and `docker/`: multi-stage build and process supervision.
- `compose.yml`: prebuilt-image install; `compose.build.yml`: source override.
- `deploy/native/`: example Linux service units and backend/frontend configuration.
Requests are cached from Seerr, joined to collector/download/library evidence,
normalised into a user-facing state and displayed by the frontend. App settings
are stored in SQLite; sensitive settings are encrypted with installation-specific
keys. Integrations are optional and are configured through the setup wizard.
This `release` branch intentionally excludes internal deployment scripts,
environment files, runtime data, development reports and prior Git history.
It contains no workflow that automatically deploys or publishes an image.
## Contributing and security
Keep changes focused, add regression tests and run the checks above. Never
commit tokens, database exports, backups or real user information.
