- Improved country code extraction logic to handle null values and prevent rendering errors. - Added error handling for API responses to ensure graceful degradation in case of failures. - Updated the logic for determining country codes from GeoJSON features to account for missing values. - Set default values for watched items and summary to avoid application crashes during data fetch failures.
Movie Map
A web application that visualizes the origin countries of your media collection from Radarr, Sonarr, and Lidarr, and tracks which foreign movies/shows you've watched.
Features
View 1: Collection Map
- Visualizes all media in your *arr instances on a world map
- Shows country of origin for each movie/show/artist
- Color intensity indicates number of items per country
- Filter by media type (movies, shows, music)
- Pin markers show counts per country
View 2: Watched Map
- Interactive map to track watched foreign movies and TV shows
- Manually add watched items with country information
- Add custom pins to mark countries
- Visualize your personal "watched foreign media" journey
Architecture
- Backend: FastAPI (Python) with PostgreSQL
- Frontend: React + TypeScript + Vite + Leaflet
- Database: PostgreSQL (via Unix socket)
- Deployment: Nix flake with NixOS module
Development Setup
Prerequisites
- Nix with flakes enabled
- PostgreSQL running (accessible via socket)
- Access to Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr instances
Getting Started
- Enter the development shell:
nix develop
- Set up backend environment variables (create
.envinbackend/):
POSTGRES_SOCKET_PATH=/run/postgresql
POSTGRES_DB=jawz
POSTGRES_USER=jawz
SONARR_API_KEY=your_sonarr_api_key
RADARR_API_KEY=your_radarr_api_key
LIDARR_API_KEY=your_lidarr_api_key
PORT=8080
HOST=0.0.0.0 # Use 127.0.0.1 for localhost only
# Optional: External APIs for country data
TMDB_API_KEY=your_tmdb_api_key # Get from https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api
- (Optional) Set up frontend environment variables (create
.env.localinfrontend/):
# Only needed if backend port/host differs from defaults
VITE_BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1
VITE_BACKEND_PORT=8080
VITE_PORT=5173
- Start the backend (in one terminal):
cd backend
# Uses HOST and PORT from .env file (defaults to 0.0.0.0:8080)
python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --host ${HOST:-0.0.0.0} --port ${PORT:-8080}
- Start the frontend dev server (in another terminal):
cd frontend
npm install
# Optional: Set backend URL if different from default
# export VITE_BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1
# export VITE_BACKEND_PORT=8080
npm run dev
- Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser (or http://:5173 from another computer)
Development vs Production
Development Mode:
- Backend runs on port 8080 (configurable)
- Frontend dev server runs on port 5173 (configurable)
- Frontend proxies API requests to backend
- Both are accessible from other computers (bound to 0.0.0.0)
Production Mode (NixOS deployment):
- Backend runs on configured port (default 8080)
- Frontend is built and served as static files by the backend
- No separate frontend server needed
- Access via backend URL only
Note: The frontend dev server runs on port 5173 by default and proxies API requests to the backend. If you changed the backend port, set VITE_BACKEND_PORT environment variable to match. The frontend dev server binds to 0.0.0.0 by default, so it's accessible from other computers.
Building
Build the application using Nix:
nix build
This creates a combined package with both backend and frontend.
NixOS Deployment
1. Add the flake to your NixOS configuration
In your configuration.nix or a separate module:
{
imports = [
/path/to/movie-map/nixosModules.default
];
services.moviemap = {
enable = true;
port = 8080;
host = "0.0.0.0"; # Bind to all interfaces (use "127.0.0.1" for localhost only)
postgresSocketPath = "/run/postgresql";
# Secrets can be strings or file paths (for sops-nix integration)
sonarrApiKey = "/run/secrets/sonarr-api-key"; # or "your_key_here"
radarrApiKey = "/run/secrets/radarr-api-key"; # or "your_key_here"
lidarrApiKey = "/run/secrets/lidarr-api-key"; # or "your_key_here"
# Optional: admin token for sync endpoint
adminToken = "/run/secrets/moviemap-admin-token"; # or "your_token_here"
};
}
Or reference the flake directly:
{
imports = [
(builtins.getFlake "/path/to/movie-map").nixosModules.default
];
services.moviemap = {
enable = true;
# ... configuration
};
}
2. Run database migrations
Before starting the service, run migrations. You can do this either:
Option A: Run migrations manually before enabling the service
# SSH into your server
ssh server
# Enter the flake shell
cd /path/to/movie-map
nix develop
# Run migrations
cd backend
alembic upgrade head
Option B: Add a systemd service to run migrations on first start
You can add a one-shot systemd service that runs migrations before the main service starts. Add this to your NixOS configuration:
systemd.services.moviemap-migrate = {
description = "Movie Map Database Migrations";
serviceConfig = {
Type = "oneshot";
User = "moviemap";
WorkingDirectory = "${appPackage}/backend";
ExecStart = "${pythonEnv}/bin/alembic upgrade head";
};
before = [ "moviemap-backend.service" ];
requiredBy = [ "moviemap-backend.service" ];
};
Or simply run migrations once manually, then enable the service.
3. Rebuild and enable
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
The service will be available at http://0.0.0.0:8080 (or your server's IP address). If you set host = "127.0.0.1", it will only be accessible from localhost (use a reverse proxy in that case).
Note: If you're accessing from another computer, make sure:
- The service is bound to
0.0.0.0(default) or your server's IP address - Your firewall allows incoming connections on the configured port
- If using NixOS, you may need to open the port in your firewall configuration:
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8080 ];
API Endpoints
Collection
GET /api/collection/summary?types=movie,show,music- Get collection summary by country
Watched Items
GET /api/watched- List all watched itemsGET /api/watched/summary- Get watched summary by countryPOST /api/watched- Create watched itemPATCH /api/watched/{id}- Update watched itemDELETE /api/watched/{id}- Delete watched item
Pins
GET /api/pins- List all manual pinsPOST /api/pins- Create pinDELETE /api/pins/{id}- Delete pin
Admin
POST /admin/sync- Trigger sync from all *arr instances (requires admin token if configured)GET /admin/missing-countries?source_kind=sonarr&media_type=show&limit=100- List items without country metadataPOST /admin/assign-country?item_id=<uuid>&country_code=US- Manually assign country to an item
Database Schema
The application creates a moviemap schema in the jawz database with the following tables:
source- *arr instance configurationmedia_item- Normalized media items from *arrmedia_country- Country associations for media itemswatched_item- User-tracked watched itemsmanual_pin- Custom pins on the map
Country Extraction
The sync process extracts country information using multiple methods:
Automatic Extraction
-
Radarr (Movies):
- First tries
productionCountriesfrom Radarr metadata - Falls back to TMDB API (requires
TMDB_API_KEYenv var) usingtmdbId
- First tries
-
Sonarr (TV Shows):
- First tries
seriesMetadata.originCountryfrom Sonarr metadata - Falls back to TMDB API (requires
TMDB_API_KEYenv var) usingtmdbId
- First tries
-
Lidarr (Music):
- First tries
countryfield from Lidarr metadata - Falls back to MusicBrainz API (no API key required) using
foreignArtistId(MBID)
- First tries
External API Setup
TMDB API (for Movies & TV Shows):
- Get a free API key from https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api
- Set environment variable:
TMDB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here - Re-run sync to fetch country data
MusicBrainz API (for Music):
- No API key required (uses public API)
- Automatically used if
foreignArtistId(MusicBrainz ID) is available in Lidarr
Manual Assignment
If automatic extraction fails, you can manually assign countries:
-
View missing countries:
curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/admin/missing-countries?source_kind=sonarr&limit=50 -
Assign country manually:
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8888/admin/assign-country?item_id=<uuid>&country_code=US"
Items without country information are stored but excluded from map visualization until a country is assigned.
