Is Reaparr actively maintained?
Reaparr is under active development: 2168 commits landed over the last 11 months, averaging roughly 180 commits a month in the most recent quarter.
The most recent tagged release, v0.40.0-dev.4, shipped within the last month — a current, installable version exists today.
Note that Reaparr depends on a third-party service to work fully. It is self-hosted, but not self-contained: if that external service changes its terms or disappears, your instance is affected.
Of the 31 projects we track in Media Management, Reaparr ranks #4 by health score — in the top quarter of its category.
What Reaparr actually does
Reaparr is a cross-platform tool designed to facilitate downloading media between separate Plex servers. It automates the process of copying content collections from external libraries into your own local instance.
Best fit: It suits administrators who manage multiple Plex servers and want to automate the synchronisation or sharing of media libraries between them.
Worth knowing: Depending on your setup, copying media across servers can consume significant bandwidth and storage, and it may overlap with established download automation stacks.
Deployment notes
Since it is distributed via Docker, you will typically need to map persistent volumes for configuration and media storage, and place it behind a reverse proxy if you require external TLS access.
