Ombi
Ombi is a media request management system that coordinates content discovery between users, media servers, and download managers. It acts as a middleware layer to automate the process of requesting, approving, and acquiring movies, music, and TV shows.
The project differentiates itself by acting as an integration layer that synchronizes libraries and user accounts across multiple media server instances. It features a content request orchestrator that supports voting-based automatic approval and the ability to import active requests directly from external watchlists.
The platform covers a broad range of capabilities, including multi-channel notification gateways for alerts via Discord, Telegram, and email, and role-based access control for managing user permissions. It provides comprehensive tools for media server administration, automated workflow management, and flexible identity integration through OAuth and third-party providers.
The system supports persistent data storage using SQLite, MySQL, or MariaDB.
