PlexTraktSync comes to ElfTerm

Old / daily subscriptions will sunset from 1 Aug. Take action as described below

We have a new pricing model / bundle structure which requires resubscriptions (the store can't migrate daily to monthly subscriptions for us). Unless you take action described here, your ElfHosted subscriptions will stop working some time after 1 Aug 2024.

Details here!

With the increasing stability / popularity of Riven, we're seeing users regularly asking "how can I switch from plex_debrid to Riven, keeping my Plex library?"

There's no "import" option in Riven, but now we have the next-best thing - using PlexTraktSync within ElfTerm, you can:

  • 1โƒฃ "sync" your Plex library with Trakt,
  • 2โƒฃ remove your old plex_debrid-managed libraries, and then
  • 3โƒฃ start "from scratch" with Riven, letting it sync back your library content from Trakt!

Plex now auto-repairs

PlexDBRepair is now built into our Plex container, so every time you restart Plex, it'll give your library a tidy/check/optimize, avoiding any "weirdness" behind the scenes.

If you want to see the latest DBRepair results for your database, take a look at the repair-db container logs in your plex pod, using Kubernetes Dashboard!

Example output
k logs -n aa-funkypenguin funkypenguin-plex-95656778f-9mm6x repair-db

WebDAV includes configs

As of today, your WebDAV access (used to manage your files externally when FileBrowser falls short) can also see your /config volumes, just like FileBrowser can!

Merch arrived!

Today, to great delight of my children who all tried to claim it, the first of my ElfHosted merch arrived!

(You, too, could be rocking this fine "kiss-cut" sticker)

Thanks @BSM for making the merch happen! ๐Ÿ‘
