About
📦 About DMB (Debrid Media Bridge)#
Debrid Media Bridge (DMB) is an all-in-one, containerized platform for managing and automating media workflows using premium debrid services like Real-Debrid. Whether you're looking to automate downloads, organize libraries, mount remote content, or just reduce manual steps — DMB aims to unify it all into a seamless experience.
🎯 Mission#
DMB was created with a single goal:
Bridge the gap between cloud-based debrid services and traditional media server ecosystems like Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby — with maximum automation and minimal configuration.
🧩 What Makes DMB Unique?#
Unlike other solutions that focus on one piece of the puzzle, DMB integrates every step of the media pipeline:
- 🔌 Service Coordination — via the internal DMB API and real-time config management
- 📥 Automated Acquisition — with Riven for discovery and Zurg for debrid content fetching
- ☁️ Cloud Storage Mounting — through rclone mounts (e.g., Real-Debrid WebDAV)
- 🔁 Library Management — using symlinks, metadata enrichment, and optional server updates
- 📊 Metadata Caching — with Zilean to reduce latency and boost scraping efficiency
- 🧠 Visual Control — via the DMB Frontend for live logs, settings, and monitoring
All services are configured through a centralized file (dmb_config.json) and can be dynamically updated at runtime via the DMB Frontend.
🛠️ Architecture at a Glance#
DMB is built using a modular, microservices architecture, with the following components:
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| DMB API | Core controller and coordination hub |
| DMB Frontend | Graphical interface for managing services, configs, and logs |
| Riven | Content search, acquisition, and integration with platforms like Plex, Trakt, and Overseerr |
| Zurg | Handles Real-Debrid content interaction, file repair, and directory structuring |
| rclone | Mounts cloud storage into the local container for access by your media server |
| Zilean | Caches metadata and file hash lookups for performance |
| PostgreSQL / pgAdmin | Internal databases and optional management UI |
You can explore how these services connect in the Services Overview page.
