Get started with Anilist Link

Anilist Link connects AniList to Plex, Jellyfin, Crunchyroll, Sonarr and Radarr. It runs as one container with a web dashboard.

1. Create the container

Save this as docker-compose.yml, and change the paths to your own:

services:
  AnilistLink:
    image: ghcr.io/anothermike-exe/anilist-link:latest
    container_name: AnilistLink
    restart: unless-stopped
    shm_size: "2g"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/AnilistLink:/config
      - /mnt/user/media/anime:/media/anime
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=002
      - TZ=America/Los_Angeles
    ports:
      - "9876:9876"

Then start it:

docker compose up -d

2. Run the setup wizard

Open http://<host>:9876. The setup wizard starts on the first visit. Add your media folders, then link AniList and any of Plex, Jellyfin, Crunchyroll, Sonarr and Radarr. Each service is optional.

It works when the dashboard shows your AniList account.

Things to know

• Mount the library at the same path as your media server. Anilist Link moves the files that Plex or Jellyfin report. If the container sees a different path, renames fail.
• Set PUID and PGID to the user that owns your media, or renames fail with permission errors.
• Crunchyroll needs shared memory. Its client runs Chromium, so keep shm_size: "2g". If you do not use Crunchyroll, you can lower it to 512m.
• When AniList is down, a banner shows on the dashboard and syncs pause. Anilist Link checks each hour and continues by itself.
