Description

Nevu is a complete redesign of Plex's UI using the Plex media server's API. It comes with its own web server. As the keen eye may notice, the UI is heavily inspired by Netflix's UI. It is currently only developed for desktops and laptops. It is not optimized for mobile or TV use.

Nevu currently supports Movie and TV Show libraries. You can also play media via the interface.

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

Features

• Modern, Netflix-like UI
• Seamless Plex integration
• Play media
• Browse libraries
• Search for media
• 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 -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"
        volumes:
            - nevu_data:/data
        environment:
            - PLEX_SERVER=http://your-plex-server:32400

volumes:
    nevu_data:

Then run:

docker-compose up -d
