Wizarr is an automatic user invitation and management system for media servers (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita, Romm). It creates unique invite links to add users to a server and guides them through client setup, request-system access, and optional Discord onboarding.
Key Features
- Automatic invitations and guided onboarding for Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and other media servers.
- Secure, multi-tiered invitation flows with time-limited membership options.
- Plug-and-play Single Sign-On (SSO) support and customizable wizard steps for pre/post-invite flows.
- Request-system integrations (Overseerr, Ombi, etc.), Discord invite support, and customizable HTML snippets for the wizard UI.
- REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger interactive docs and containerised deployment (Docker / Docker Compose).
Use Cases
- Simplify inviting friends, family, or community members to a home media server by sending a single link that automates account creation and setup.
- Provide temporary or tiered access (time-limited memberships) for guests, testers, or short-term collaborators.
- Integrate onboarding with request-management tools and community channels (e.g., link invite acceptance to Discord and overseerr/ombi workflows).
Limitations and Considerations
- Known platform-specific issues: running Wizarr on native Windows environments can be problematic; the project recommends Docker on Linux for the most reliable experience and documents NTFS-mounted volume caveats.
- Production deployments expect PostgreSQL and Redis as primary services (Postgres is the supported persistent store and Redis is used for queues); configuring a pre-existing Postgres requires extra setup (extensions and permissions). Backups/restores rely on database tooling and container-aware procedures.
Wizarr provides a focused, self-hostable solution to streamline media-server user management and onboarding with API-driven automation and integrations for common community tools. It is targeted at home-lab and community operators who need an easy invitation flow and integration with existing request and chat systems.
