01

Overview

A self-hosted media setup is usually several independent services — a media server, library managers, indexer management, an audiobook server — each with its own interface, configuration and failure modes.

Media Command brings them under one roof: one place to see what is running, how it is configured and what needs attention.

02

The problem

Running your own media stack means operating a small distributed system. Services have to be found, configured to talk to each other, kept healthy and kept up to date.

When something breaks, working out where usually means opening six different applications and comparing what each of them thinks is happening.

03

The approach

Media Command discovers the services on a network, keeps their configuration in one place and presents a unified status across all of them.

Management is designed to be safe. Changes are explicit, automation is controlled rather than implicit, and Media Command keeps its own state in durable local storage.

Everything stays self-hosted. There is no cloud account in the middle and no need to hand library data to anyone else.

  • One viewA single status across every service.
  • Explicit changesNothing is reconfigured behind your back.
  • Controlled automationAutomation you can see, bound and switch off.
  • Self-hosted ownershipYour hardware, your data, your storage.
