Ganymede is a self-hosted application for managing media download requests for personal media servers such as Plex and Jellyfin. It provides a user-facing request workflow plus admin controls to approve, manage, and fulfill requests, typically alongside existing downloader/automation stacks.

Key Features

Multi-user request portal for movies/TV (and other media types depending on configuration)
Admin review/approval workflow to control what gets downloaded
Integration-oriented design to work alongside common media automation tools (e.g., library managers and downloaders)
User accounts and permissions suitable for households or small communities
Request tracking and status visibility so users can see progress

Use Cases

Household media requests: let family members request new content without admin access to automation tools
Small community server: manage and moderate requests for a shared Plex/Jellyfin library
Controlled acquisition workflow: keep requests centralized while enforcing approval and quality rules

Limitations and Considerations

Feature set and integrations depend on your existing automation stack; Ganymede is not a complete downloader by itself

Ganymede fits media-server setups that want a lightweight, self-managed request layer with user accounts and administrative oversight. It complements existing Plex/Jellyfin libraries by formalizing how requests are submitted, approved, and tracked.
