VaultRequestrr

A Discord bot for requesting movies and TV shows through Seerr (the unified successor to Overseerr/Jellyseerr), with self-service Plex account linking so that each user's requests are attributed to their Seerr account and their per-user quotas/limits are respected.

📖 Full documentation lives on the wiki — setup guides, the full configuration reference, feature deep-dives, and troubleshooting.

Why this exists

Tools like requestrr attribute a request to the right Seerr user by matching a Discord ID that an admin has to hand-enter into each Seerr user's notification settings. After the Overseerr → Seerr migration those IDs are typically empty, so every request falls through to a single default user (or fails) and per-user quotas stop working.

VaultRequestrr fixes this without any admin busywork: the first time a user requests something, the bot asks for their Plex username/email, resolves it to a Seerr user, remembers the link, and from then on submits every request as that user.

Features

• Per-user attribution — quotas and permissions come from each user's own Seerr account (Account Linking)
• Requests with availability at a glance — ✅ / 🟡 / ⏳ / 🕒 badges on search results and the season picker (Requests and Approvals)
• Approval workflow — pending requests DM the admins with persistent Approve/Decline buttons, plus /pending and a dashboard queue
• Issue reporting with automated re-grab — users report bad video/audio/subtitles; one button blocklists the bad release, grabs a replacement, and watches it through import (Issue Reporting and Re-grab)
• DM notifications — on availability, decline, and issue resolution — even for requests made in the Seerr web UI (Notifications)
• Plex invites — linked users can invite friends, with per-user caps (Plex Invites)
• Anime routing — /anime targets dedicated anime Sonarr/Radarr instances (Anime Requests)
• Admin dashboard — health, links, activity, approvals, issues, invites, live logs, and live-editable settings (Admin Dashboard)

Quick start

1. Create a Discord bot at https://discord.com/developers/applications, copy the bot token, and invite it with the applications.commands and bot scopes (no privileged intents needed).
2. Grab a Seerr admin API key (Seerr → Settings → General → API Key).
3. Configure and run:

cp .env.example .env
# edit .env: DISCORD_TOKEN, SEERR_URL, SEERR_API_KEY
# set DISCORD_GUILD_ID for instant slash-command registration
docker compose up -d --build

Or run the published image directly:

docker run -d --name vaultrequestrr --restart unless-stopped \
  -e DISCORD_TOKEN=... \
  -e SEERR_URL=http://10.10.0.10:5055 \
  -e SEERR_API_KEY=... \
  -e DISCORD_GUILD_ID=... \
  -v /path/to/data:/data \
  ghcr.io/vancityactivist/vaultrequestrr:latest

Set WEB_PASSWORD (and publish port 5056) to enable the admin dashboard.

More options — bare Python and a ready-made Unraid template — are on the Installation page, and every environment variable is documented in the Configuration reference.
