About Medusa
Medusa is an automatic video library manager for TV shows. You tell it which series you follow, and it watches for new episodes. When one is posted, it fetches the episode and adds it to your library, so your collection stays current without manual searching.
It runs as a server you host yourself and is managed through a web interface. The repository includes a Dockerfile, and its long commit history reaches back to the SickBeard code it grew out of. It suits people who run a home media server and want new episodes to arrive on their own.
