Self-hosted music requests, no Lidarr install needed: DroppedNeedle searches MusicBrainz, drives your own slskd or Usenet setup, and files only verified, tagged tracks in your library. Request a whole album or a single track, then retry or cancel from a dedicated requests page. The engine queries slskd, or SABnzbd with Newznab indexers or Prowlarr, and scores every candidate before anything downloads. Files must pass checks for readable tags, a sane duration, and an optional AcoustID fingerprint match. Close calls park for admin review. Failed requests are searched again until a verified copy arrives. Quality floors per format and storage caps keep the library tidy, and better copies replace old ones. The built-in player queues Jellyfin, Navidrome, Plex, local files, and YouTube previews with shuffle, a 10-band equalizer, and embedded lyrics. Prefer your own app? Symfonium, Finamp, Feishin, and other Subsonic or Jellyfin clients connect with revocable app passwords. Discovery rows draw on ListenBrainz and Last.fm history and global charts, and a weekly mix can queue up to five missing albums. Follow artists for new-release alerts, or add Ticketmaster or Skiddle keys for gig listings in cities you choose. Import Spotify playlists, or drag in a zip of music you bought. Admin, Trusted, and User roles decide whether a request starts at once or waits for approval.

Radarr, Sonarr, and their sibling apps watch RSS feeds for new releases but never go back for what your library is still missing, and Houndarr fills that gap by asking them to search in small, polite batches. It reads the wanted lists of every connected Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Whisparr instance and sends a few search commands per cycle, so a big backlog drains over days instead of arriving as one Search All Missing burst. Each instance has its own batch size, sleep interval, hourly cap, per-item cooldown, and post-release grace period, plus an optional download-queue limit, allowed search windows such as 09:00-23:00, and tag filters that include or exclude items. Three independent passes run per instance: missing items, cutoff-unmet items below your quality profile, and upgrades for files that already meet cutoff, with the last two off until you enable them. Sonarr, Lidarr, and Readarr can search by season, artist, or author, and search order is random or oldest-first. The dashboard shows library health, recent hunts, hourly budgets, and a cooldown schedule per instance, with Run Now buttons for on-demand cycles. The Logs page records every search and skip with its reason in a filterable audit trail that copies as TSV. A key-gated widget endpoint feeds Homepage dashboards, and built-in login or reverse-proxy authentication protects the interface.

LMS is a self-hosted music server that streams your own library to any web browser or Subsonic-compatible player. Point it at a folder of tagged files and it builds a library that understands multi-valued genres and moods, composer, conductor, and producer credits, release types, and release groups that keep remasters beside the original. MusicBrainz identifiers settle duplicate artist and album names, and an artist information folder in Kodi NFO format adds biographies and portraits. Browse with filters like Electronic plus Relaxed, then switch on radio mode and the queue refills itself with similar tracks, chosen by audio similarity or by tags. Plays can be scrobbled to ListenBrainz and Last.fm, and loved tracks synchronize with ListenBrainz. Phone apps connect through the Subsonic and OpenSubsonic API with a personal API key, and transcoding trims bandwidth on slow connections. ReplayGain evens out loudness, podcasts and lyrics sit in the same interface, and an admin-only jukebox mode plays through the server's own audio output. Several libraries can live side by side, a .lmsignore file keeps unwanted folders out of scans, and logins can use the internal user database, PAM, or reverse-proxy SSO headers.

Circulation desk, cataloging workbench, acquisitions office, serials room, and public catalog all share one roof in Koha, an open-source library system that scales across school libraries, branch networks, and consortia. Staff search the catalog with facets for availability, authors, holding libraries, and item types, then open a record to see its cover, subjects, classification numbers, and every copy with its call number, status, and barcode. Catalogers edit MARC 21 or UNIMARC records field by field, copy records in via Z39.50 and SRU searches, and link authorities automatically. At the desk, staff check out, check in, and renew items, work with holds, bookings, and claims, and see overdue warnings and outstanding charges beside each patron. Circulation and fine rules vary by library, patron category, and item type. Acquisitions handles vendors, baskets, budgets, and funds. Serials track subscriptions and issue receiving. A guided report wizard, SQL reports, and statistics wizards summarize circulation and collections. Patrons search the public catalog, place holds, save lists, tag and rate titles, and suggest purchases. Staff tools design notices and slips, print patron cards, set holiday calendars, and import or batch-edit patrons. SIP2 serves self-checkout kiosks, OAI-PMH sets share records, and a REST API exposes patrons, holds, checkouts, and biblios. Lending continues during outages with offline circulation.

Pictaria Server sits beside your Immich instance and makes a photo library of thirty thousand images legible again, surfacing the trips, people, and best shots buried under duplicate bursts and forgotten folders. It starts with Insights: a clickable timeline of your years, detected trips, a people constellation linked by who appears together, place and camera rankings, and records like your busiest day. Click any number and you land on the actual photos, ready to open in Immich, turn into an album, or send onward. Enrich puts an AI to work describing what it sees, writing captions, menu-driven tags, and quality scores for every photo using a local model through Ollama or LM Studio, or a cloud provider with your own key, on a scheduled daily budget. Those tags can sync back into Immich, so searching improves everywhere, not just here. Curate then collapses bursts and near-duplicates into stacks with a suggested keeper, and one keystroke keeps the best and skips the rest. Smart Albums compose rules from people, places, dates, cameras, and tags, preview the result count, and maintain real Immich albums on a schedule. Frame owners get remote control, display metrics, and voice photo questions, while the Activity feed and runtime-editable Settings keep the whole box manageable from the browser. It connects with a limited-permissions API key and cannot delete a single photo.
