Getting non-technical friends and family onto a media server is its most tedious chore - Wizarr solves it. Instead of manually creating accounts, dictating server addresses, and explaining which app to install, you send one invite link. When the recipient clicks it, Wizarr creates their account on your server automatically - Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita, and Romm are all supported - then walks them through a mobile-first, app-like onboarding wizard: download the right client, sign in, and learn how to request movies through your Overseerr or Ombi instance, with an optional Discord server invite along the way. Invitations are genuinely manageable: set expiration dates, usage limits, passphrases, library-scoped access tiers, and time-limited memberships that end access automatically. The wizard itself is fully customizable - Markdown-based steps managed from the admin UI, organized into pre-invite and post-invite phases (terms of service before joining, app setup after), reorderable bundles assignable to specific invitation types, and combined flows for invites spanning multiple servers. Multi-server and multi-admin support manages several backends from one dashboard, SSO support is plug-and-play, and a REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger documentation covers automation. A Flask/HTMX app in a single Docker container.

New hires fail from information overload and IT bottlenecks, not lack of goodwill - the observation behind ChiefOnboarding, a free, open-source employee onboarding platform (Django, Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis). Its answer is sequences - drag-and-drop timelines that drip-feed to-do items, resources, courses, forms, and badges to each new hire, triggered by dates or by completing a previous item, so nobody faces everything at once. Onboarding starts before day one: preboarding pages welcome hires early, and colleagues can leave personal messages that appear there. The account provisioning module creates the new hire's Slack, Google, Asana, and other accounts automatically on the scheduled day via a library of integrations plus custom webhooks - the IT ticket queue never gets involved. Everything works through two equivalent interfaces: a full web dashboard and a Slack bot, either usable standalone. Slack can even auto-create new hire accounts when someone joins the workspace and assign default sequences with zero manual action. Colleague tasks with comments and collaboration, a searchable people directory, scheduled introductions, and per-hire timezone awareness (no 3 a.m. notifications) round it out. No trackers, no phoning home - third-party credentials sit in encrypted fields on your server.
