Docs / Using CloudZH

Setup wizards & auto-wiring

Fill in the details once while installing. CloudZH connects the rest.

Plex wizard

  1. Click Connect with Plex. A Plex sign-in window opens (official PIN sign-in).
  2. Choose the server name, libraries (Movies, TV, optional Music), folders and metadata language.
  3. CloudZH claims the server, creates the libraries, enters your home network and the address https://plex.example.com:443 (with your domain).
Your Plex token

The Plex account token stays in the dashboard's memory only, for at most 30 minutes, and is never written to disk, logs or the browser.

Connect apps

After every installation, in any order, CloudZH adds missing connections. Run it again with Apps → Connect apps or:

Apps with their own admin account (Jellyfin, Immich, Kavita, Audiobookshelf, Navidrome, Wizarr) ask you to create it on first open.

One Plex device per app

Every app that talks to Plex gets its own token. In Plex they appear under Authorized devices as "CloudZH Tautulli", "CloudZH Seerr" and so on, so you can revoke one without touching the others.

TRaSH recommendations

Apps → TRaSH recommendations (or zh apps tune) sets naming, media management and download handling in Radarr and Sonarr, and the recommended SABnzbd switches, using the values from the TRaSH Guides. It runs once automatically after installing those apps. Existing files keep their names.
