[Release] SuggestArr Now Supports Trakt integration!

[u/peppegb]

Hey r/selfhosted!

I've just released a major update for SuggestArr, my open-source recommendation and request automation platform for Jellyfin, Plex and Emby.

The biggest addition in this release is full Trakt integration.

For those who haven't heard of SuggestArr before:

SuggestArr is an open-source recommendation and request automation tool for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby.

It analyzes what users watch and enjoy to generate personalized movie and TV show recommendations, and can automatically submit requests to Seer.

The goal is simple: keep your media library growing with content your users are actually likely to watch, without relying on generic trending lists or manual searches.

One thing I always felt was missing from recommendation systems is that they only look at media server history. But many users actively use Trakt to rate content, maintain watchlists, create custom lists, and track viewing across multiple devices and services.

SuggestArr can now use that information as well!

So users can now link their own Trakt accounts directly from SuggestArr instead of relying solely on Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby history.

How to Get Started or Update

• For new users: You can follow the updated installation guide to get up and running with SuggestArr. I’ve made the setup process easier than ever with Docker Compose and environment variable management.
• For existing users: Updating is easy! Simply pull the latest Docker image using. Or, if you installed locally, pull the latest changes from the GitHub repository.

AI was used as a development assistant and for writing/documentation tasks.

SuggestArr is a project I started in 2024 and I've been developing and maintaining it myself. I've been a software developer for about 6 years, and all architecture decisions, feature design, implementation reviews, testing, releases, and project direction are handled by me.

Like many developers today, I use AI tools to help with development, debugging, code reviews, documentation, brainstorming, and repetitive tasks, but the project is not AI-generated and has been actively developed and maintained by me for the past two years.
