Aethera is a self-hosted media workflow application focused on the full path from media metadata to local files.
The core workflow is:
- Use TMDB metadata to identify movies, TV shows, seasons, and episodes.
- Search configured indexers for matching release resources.
- Send selected resources to a configured downloader.
- Track tasks and finished downloads.
- Inspect and manage the mounted media library.
- Optionally refresh or synchronize a media server.
- Follow media items and seasons.
- Track subscription state and upcoming work.
- Run subscription tasks manually or through the scheduler.
- Search TMDB-backed media metadata.
- Search configured resource indexers.
- Compare resources with parsed quality, version, source, and release attributes.
- Configure download clients in the application UI.
- Transfer selected resources to the default downloader.
- Track active tasks and finished download history.
- Mount a host media root into the container at
/data. - Inspect local media files and directory usage.
- Manage file placement and directory integrity workflows.
- Optionally connect a media server for refresh and sync workflows.
- Store application settings in SQLite.
- Configure directories, downloaders, indexers, media servers, quality profiles, tags, and naming templates in the UI.
- Keep runtime data under
AETHERA_CONFIG_PATH, outside Git.
