Integrate with Seerr

Support level: Community

What is Seerr​

Seerr (previously Jellyseerr) is a free and open source application for managing requests in your media library. It integrates with media servers like Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby, and services such as Sonarr and Radarr.

Preparation​

  • seerr.company is the FQDN of the Seerr installation.
  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik installation.

authentik configuration​

To support the integration of Seerr with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.

  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application to open the application wizard.

    • Application: provide a descriptive name, a slug, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings. Take note of the Slug value as it will be required later.
    • Choose a Provider type: OAuth2/OpenID
    • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and any required configurations.
      • Note the Client ID and Client Secret values because they will be required later.
      • Set a Strict redirect URI to https://seerr.company/login.
      • Select any available signing key.
    • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user’s My applications page.

  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.
