Midarr is a free, open-source, lightweight media server that serves your existing media library through a slick web interface. It acts as a companion to Radarr and Sonarr, leveraging those services rather than re-indexing media, and includes user authentication, invite system, and online statuses.
Use cases
- self-host a lightweight media server for my movie and TV library
- serve media from Radarr and Sonarr without re-indexing
- share a media library with friends using invite codes
- stream videos directly without transcoding overhead
- find a simple Plex or Jellyfin alternative
- give users online status and profiles on a home media server
When to choose
- you already use Radarr/Sonarr to manage your media and want a lightweight frontend
- you want direct streaming with minimal resource usage and no transcoding
- you need simple multi-user access with invites and online statuses
- you prefer a self-hosted Docker deployment with a clean UI
When to avoid
- you need transcoding for heterogeneous client devices or remote low-bandwidth streaming
- you don't use Radarr or Sonarr and want a standalone library manager
- you need mobile apps, offline downloads, or live TV/DVR features
- you want a mature ecosystem with plugins like Plex or Jellyfin
