Best open-source Media trackers

The best self-hosted media tracker in the c17.io catalog is Ryot (GPL-3.0 movies, shows, books, and more — the published Goodreads/Letterboxd/Trakt stack), with Yamtrack as an AGPL-3.0 tracker, BookLogr when the job is a personal library, and Watcharr for a watched list. BookWyrm is ACSL, not OSI, and is not ranked. The files themselves stay on /best/ebook-audiobook or /best/media-libraries.

FAQ

Goodreads, Letterboxd, or Trakt?
Same published stack — /replace/goodreads, /replace/letterboxd, /replace/trakt. Ryot if you want one box. BookLogr if the job is a personal library. Watcharr if you want a watched list.
Why not BookWyrm?
BookWyrm's license is ACSL, not OSI. This ranking uses GPL/Apache/AGPL catalog tools instead.
Is this Jellyfin?
No. Jellyfin plays the files (/best/media-libraries). Audiobookshelf/Kavita play the books (/best/ebook-audiobook). This page is the diary.
Are these free?
Ryot and Watcharr are GPL-3.0. Yamtrack is AGPL-3.0. BookLogr is Apache-2.0. You pay hosting. Template users never pay c17.
How do I deploy it?
Open /stacks/ryot-trackers. Persist the database. Import a CSV if the vendor still gives you one.
