Installation

Getting it running

Nexview runs on anything that runs Docker — a Synology, a Raspberry Pi, an ordinary computer. One container, one data directory, then the wizard handles the rest.

Install

One container, three steps

Interface and API come from the same image. Take the compose snippet, start it, set it up.

docker-compose.yml

services:
  nexview:
    image: ghcr.io/derkezorm/nexview:latest
    container_name: nexview
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "5173:8000"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    environment:
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
      TZ: Europe/Berlin

Without a TMDB key Nexview starts with sample data — so you can look first and decide after. Database, keys and profile pictures live in the ./data folder next to the compose file.

1 Start the container Take the compose snippet, run docker compose up -d, open the interface on port 5173.
2 Run the wizard Enter the TMDB, Radarr and Sonarr keys, pick quality profiles and target folders.
3 Bring people in By invitation with a confirmed e-mail address — or, if a Plex server is connected, straight with a Plex account. You set role, approvals, quotas and age limit as you go, and in advance for anyone who signs themselves up. Family & friends

What comes next

Two steps after that

The container is running — now it needs an account and the services.

First run

The wizard step by step: account, public address, mail server and the TMDB key — including what can be skipped and what had better not be.

Connecting services

Connecting Radarr, Sonarr, Plex and the notification services — plus the three things that tend to go wrong.

Other routes

For now Nexview comes as a Docker image. If another installation route is added it will appear right here. Whatever you would like belongs on the wish list.
