Credenza documentation

Credenza is a media server you run on your own hardware. Point it at the folders where your films, TV shows, anime and console games live, and it builds a library with posters and details, streams to any browser, phone or TV, and plays retro games right in the browser.

It is one server and one database, installed with Docker Compose or a single command on Linux. Everything after that — libraries, users, transcoding — is set up in the browser.

Install CredenzaDocker Compose or a native Linux package, and what each needs.

Add your librariesPoint the server at your folders and name files so they match.
