# Sortarr
Sortarr is a self-hosted Jellyfin media organizer and dashboard. It watches your downloads, plans safe Jellyfin-friendly moves across multiple media drives, and provides a fully editable dashboard to manage your library.
## Features
- **Automated Organizing**: Watches `/downloads` and moves files to appropriate Movie/Show folders.
- **Multi-Drive Support**: Supports up to 4 media drives with smart drive selection.
- **Safety First**: Optional dry-run mode and atomic move operations.
- **Customizable**: Fully editable vanilla JS dashboard and TOML-based backend configuration.
- **Lightweight**: Built with Python and Nginx, optimized for self-hosting.
## Getting Started
### 1. Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your host.
### 2. Setup
1. **Copy the environment template**:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
2. **Configure paths**:
Edit `.env` and set the paths to your downloads and media folders. By default, it uses folders within the project directory.
3. **Review Configuration**:
Check `config/app.toml` to customize organizer rules, naming templates, and more.
4. **Start Sortarr**:
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
### 3. Usage
- **Web Dashboard**: Open `http://localhost:8088` (or the port you configured).
- **First Run**: By default, `SORTARR_DRY_RUN` is `false` in this distribution. If you want to test first, set it to `true` in your `.env`.
- **Library Scan**: Go to the Library page and click "Scan library" to index your existing media.
