Cinephage Documentation

Welcome to the Cinephage documentation. Cinephage is a self-hosted media management platform that unifies movies, TV shows, live TV, and streaming into a single modern application.

What Cinephage Does​

Instead of running multiple separate services, Cinephage provides one cohesive platform:

  • One database - All your media and configurations together
  • One interface - Browse, search, and manage everything
  • One configuration - Set up indexers and clients once
  • One container - Deploy with Docker and go
