Ask for a movie in Discord. DiscoFlix searches your services, handles the approval,
tracks the download, and replies when it's ready to watch.

One request, start to finish

_{Request lifecycle.}

The console is a Discord mirror

The og discord, the good one.

Mission control for the whole stack

Overview - all the apps.	Requests - approval pipelines and the ability to track the lifecycle of a request.
Library - combined library, derived (and deduped) from all media servers.	Queue - live progress for all your download clients in one place.
Now playing - who is watching what.	Users - tiers, limits, and a WANTS ACCESS flags.
Profiles - grant a tier, cap requests, keep receipts.	Logs - ...I dont know how to excite people about logs.

Optional AI-powered everything

Plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or a local Ollama. The assistant has access to all your users, what media you have downloaded/monitored/queued, and of course - the discord bot (you can turn these off incrementally if thats too intrusive for you, but thats why we include ollama).

Routing - commands, mentions, and DMs each pick their own provider, audience, and memory.

Directives - system prompt, go nuts.

Loading

Run it

Docker (recommended)

docker run -d --name discoflix \
  -p 5001:5001 \
  -v discoflix_data:/data \
  nickheyer/discoflix:latest

Or grab docker-compose.yml and docker compose up -d.

From source

git clone https://github.com/nickheyer/DiscoFlix.git
cd DiscoFlix
npm install
npm start        # or: make dev (auto-restarts on change)

Node 20+. The schema migrates itself on first boot.

Single binary

npm install
npm run build:binary   # -> dist/discoflix

Data lands next to the binary in discoflix-data/ (override with DF_DATA_DIR).

Then open http://localhost:5001, paste your Discord bot token, and flip the power switch. Everything is configured in the console - or seed first-boot settings from the environment with .env.example.

Inspect the database

DiscoFlix ships its own admin panel - no external tools. Enable Database Admin in the DiscoFlix app's Settings (or set DF_DB_ADMIN=1 before first boot) and it serves a standalone editor at http://localhost:5001/admin (a Database shortcut also appears in the DiscoFlix app and opens it in a new tab). It reads the schema straight from the Prisma models, so every table, column, relation, and index shows up automatically: search, sort, filter by clicking any foreign key, edit or create rows in the side editor, bulk-edit or bulk-delete the checked rows (or everything matching the current filter), and drop to raw SQL when you want it.

It edits the live database with no guardrails - that's the point - so if the console is reachable by anyone but you, set an admin password. DiscoFlix will nag you about exactly that (dismissable) if you enable it on a password-less console.
