Mind that this project is still in development and may be unstable.

• Watch Together (Nevu Sync)
• Get Recommendations
• Fully integrated Watchlist
• Simple and easy to use
• Pro-User features (like special shortcuts etc.)

Installation

Docker

The easiest way to run Nevu is to use Docker. You can use the following command to run Nevu in a Docker container:

docker volume create nevu_data
docker run --name nevu -p 3000:3000 -p 44201:44201/udp -v nevu_data:/data -e PLEX_SERVER=http://your-plex-server:32400 ipmake/nevu

Docker Compose

Alternatively, you can use Docker Compose to run Nevu. Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content:

services:
  nevu:
    image: ipmake/nevu
    container_name: nevu
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
      - "44201:44201/udp"
    volumes:
      - nevu_data:/data
    environment:
      - PLEX_SERVER=http://your-plex-server:32400
