About

What MoviePilot does

MoviePilot is a NAS-focused media automation tool for subscribing to and automatically downloading movies and TV shows. It handles search, downloading via qBittorrent/Transmission/rTorrent, renaming and organizing media, and syncing with media servers like Jellyfin and Plex.

Install Flow

How to self-host MoviePilot

MoviePilot can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what MoviePilot does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for MoviePilot Docker, MoviePilot Docker Compose, or self-host MoviePilot, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Automatically subscribe to TV shows and download new episodes as they air, then organize them into your media server.

Search and download movies by title across multiple torrent indexers with a single click.

Automatically rename and move downloaded media files into a clean library structure compatible with Jellyfin or Plex.

Manage running download tasks across qBittorrent, Transmission, or rTorrent from a single unified dashboard.
