  • Discord Notifications.
  • Base path / Subfolder (and subdomain) support for convenient reverse-proxy support.

Available methods to use shinkro

What is shinkro?

If you use both Plex and Myanimelist to watch and track your anime, you know how mundande and boring it is to have to update your myanimelist manually after watching an anime on your Plex server.

shinkro enables you to sync your Plex ratings and watch status for anime to myanimelist.net.

Installation

Full installation guide and documentation can be found at https://docs.shinkro.com/installation

Quickstart via Docker:

Before your first launch, ensure you've set these environment variables:

  • SHINKRO_USERNAME
  • SHINKRO_PASSWORD
  • PLEX_USERNAME
  • ANIME_LIBRARIES

After shinkro is initialized, configurations are primarily managed through the config.toml file. The environment variables above won't override the settings in this config file.

docker run \
    --name shinkro \
    -v /path/to/shinkro/config:/config \
    -e TZ=US/Pacific \
    -e SHINKRO_USERNAME=shinkro \
    -e SHINKRO_PASSWORD=shinkro \
    -e PLEX_USERNAME=shinkro \
    -e ANIME_LIBRARIES=Library1,Library2,Library3 \
    -p 7011:7011 \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    ghcr.io/varoop/shinkro:latest

Custom Mapping

While shinkro maps most malids to tvdbids in it's database it only works well for season 1 of anime. Multiseason anime mapping is too complicated to automate at this point in time. For malid to tmdbids, a lot of movies are properly mapped in shinkro's database but not all of them. The ones which aren't are listed in shinkro-mapping ready for manual mapping.

By default, shinkro will use the community mapping hosted in the shinkro-mapping repository. It is encouraged for the user base to use the community mapping - if it does not contain a mapping you need, consider contributing or creating an issue.

Of course, you do have the option to specify your own custom maps. Simply place tvdb-mal.yaml for MAL-TVDB mappings or tmdb-mal.yaml for MAL-TMDB mappings in shinkro's configuration directory (where config.toml and shinkro.db files are located). shinkro will automatically detect the change and start using your custom mapping(s). The structure of both yaml files can be viewed at the shinkro-mapping repository.
