Readarr
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
Readarr gives you a self-hosted media and streaming application: one you deploy yourself, on a home server, NAS or VPS. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 3.5K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Jun 27, 2025, and the project is classed as quiet / legacy in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Readarr is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
