Debrid Media Manager is a library manager for people who use debrid services. A debrid service takes a torrent, downloads it on their own infrastructure, and hands back a plain HTTPS link, which turns torrenting into ordinary downloading. This searches for content, sends it to Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or TorBox, tracks what is in your library, syncs with Trakt, and hands playback to Stremio.

Self-hosting needs a MySQL database and a set of environment variables, plus optional TMDB, OMDB, MDBList, and Trakt keys for metadata. Docker deployment is supported. There is also a free hosted instance at debridmediamanager.com if you would rather not run anything.

The software is AGPL-3.0 and free. The service underneath is not. A debrid subscription runs a few dollars a month and nothing here functions without one, so budget for the provider rather than the tool.

The catch is that license, and it matters more here than usual. AGPL-3.0 means modifying this and offering it to other people over a network obligates you to hand them your source. Fine for a private setup. A real constraint if you were planning to run a tweaked copy for a group of friends.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

fully free

Free tier: All features, both self-hosted and on the public instance at debridmediamanager.com. No account tiers, no gated search, no premium metadata.

Self-hosted: A MySQL database is required, not optional, which is the main setup cost. Add environment variables for the database URL and your debrid API key, then optional TMDB, OMDB, MDBList, and Trakt keys to fill in artwork and metadata. Docker stack deploy is supported. Figure a small VPS plus the database.

Paid: The tool sells nothing. The dependency does. Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or TorBox each charge a subscription of a few dollars a month, and none of the search or download flow works without an active one. That is the real line item.

The manager is free forever. The debrid subscription it depends on is not, and that is where your money goes.
