I am looking for a plug-in for media requests from users.
My users suck, and won’t tell me if I’m missing stuff they want, or my copies are bad (with a few very helpful exceptions) so I’m looking for some sort of integration that like tells me what they are looking for, or makes it easy for them to ping me a suggestion to add/fix. I don’t watch most of my library, so this is a big concern.
Most of my users don’t know my number or email because they are my partner’s friends and I don’t use the email address my server is tied to, for security (nor are messages usually passed to me on the rare occasion they are sent to him). So “have them text you” isn’t really a good option, and it’s enough of a struggle to get them to use it in the first place that adding another standalone app isn’t going to do it either.
Preferably I would like something my end users don’t have to do anything to access, maybe a few button presses in their search interface? Like “search returns no results, request this content” as a button maybe?
Does anything like that exist?
So you can set this all up without needing your own domain or something like taliscale? I’ve wanted something like Ombi for a long time but don’t have the skills to set these (authentication, security, etc) up safely
If you want it accessible outside of your LAN, then yes, you’ll need a domain or tailscale/a VPN of some kind. But that’s true of any service.
I have some pretty heavy security on my config, but I expose the Overseerr container directly and just let the Plex auth do its thing. It doesn’t have write access to anything important anyway.
you can go to no-ip.com for a free domain name to use. you have to renew every 30 days, but it’s just clicking a couple of buttons. it’s pretty great, and I’ve used it for years.
also, overseer is pretty great
