Clean, consistent posters for your whole media library.

Studio posters come in every font, tagline and layout. Posteryard swaps them for textless art with the title in the same spot on every poster, then renders, uploads and refreshes them on its own in Plex, Jellyfin or Emby as your library grows.

Get started

Free and self-hosted. Needs Docker on a 64-bit Intel, AMD or ARM machine.

I use and run containers with .

compose.yml

services:
  posteryard:
    image: ghcr.io/sandobserver/posteryard:latest
    container_name: posteryard
    restart: unless-stopped
    init: true
    read_only: true
    tmpfs:
      - /tmp
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    environment:
      - TMDB_API_KEY=your-tmdb-api-key
      - PLEX_URL=http://192.168.1.10:32400
      - PLEX_TOKEN=your-plex-token
      - WEBHOOK_SECRET=any-long-random-text
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - DRY_RUN=true
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"

Replace the yellow values. ./data is the folder on your server where Posteryard keeps its files; any path works. Need the keys? TMDB API key · Plex token

Terminal, in the folder with compose.yml

mkdir -p ./data && sudo chown 1000:1000 ./data
docker compose up -d

First, a preview. Plex is not changed.Posteryard saves each poster to data/previews, next to compose.yml. Open a few to check them. docker logs -f posteryard shows progress.
Then go live.When you like them, change DRY_RUN=true to false in compose.yml and run docker compose up -d again. Posteryard uploads the images and locks them, so a Plex refresh keeps them.

Settings

Every setting starts at a default. Change one and its line appears, ready to paste.

Add these lines under environment: in compose.yml

Server, keys and DRY_RUN are in the install block above. Every setting, explained.
