Hey folks. I’ve run a Plex instance on my home server for friends and family for a while now. I recently discovered how easy it was to use Stremio + Torrentio + Debrid, but all my users are already used to Plex, and I like to use the Plex app to download media to my phone before I fly somewhere on vacation. The plex_debrid project made me wonder how easy it could be to use Plex with Debrid.
Over the last few months I’ve been putting together Coaxist, a single Docker container with Plex, Overseerr, Rclone, and Debrid support. Features include:
- Support for multiple Media Profiles: e.g. grab 4K DV copies for home viewing, and 1080p copies for maximum compatibility
- It’s just Plex: use the Plex apps, share with other users, download for offline viewing
- Plex watchlist and Overseerr request integration, out of the box – no copying API keys around
- “Instant” downloads with Debrid caching support
- Automatically refresh your Debrid files before they expire
It’s easy to get started: start the container, set your Debrid credentials and media profiles in the config, and sign into Plex and Overseerr. The Connector searches Torrentio for your requests and sends the files to Debrid, while Rclone mounts the media locally for Plex to serve. Check out the Quick Start guide.
This project is still in early stages – expect many breaking changes – but if you’re brave, and have a Linux, Unraid, or NAS machine that can run Docker containers, I’d love for you to try this out and let me know what you think.
Thats cool! I am curious, how does this differ from https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid or in one image https://github.com/I-am-PUID-0/pdrcrd ?
The main difference between this project and the ones you listed is that this project includes a Plex installation out of the box. The other projects require you to connect to a separate Plex instance.
Does this mean we only need one debrid account when using plex in different places? I am currently responsible for the movie+series management in my family and will put things on plex for whatever is in demand. However it would be nice if I didnt have to do this, and that they could just fetch things themeselves in Plex. Not super keen on having to pay for a debrid account per location, as debrid will ban the account if seen to be used on different public addresses (if im not mistaken)
