Your media library, automatically optimized, in France
🔒 VPS onlyA media library optimizer that transcodes and normalizes your videos powered by Unmanic, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your files stay on our French servers — hosted in France.
What is Unmanic?
Unmanic is an self-hosted media library optimization application: its role is to automatically convert and normalize video and audio files from a library so that they all adhere to the same format. Open source (GPL v3), it relies on FFmpeg for transcoding.
Its operation is based on a scheduler that scans the entire library for files that do not match your presets, and on real-time monitoring that checks every new or modified file. Non-compliant videos are then queued for conversion.
Unmanic's great flexibility comes from its plugin system: you can convert your files to a uniform format, manage file moves based on their date, or execute custom commands based on size. A web interface allows you to configure, control, and track progress, all easily deployable via Docker (with VA-API / NVENC hardware acceleration possible).
Host Unmanic at DINAO
No managed container for Unmanic: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (2 vCPU / 2 Go / 10 Go minimum).
Application available on a VPS
This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain Unmanic yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.
Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).

Technical details
You might be wondering…
What is Unmanic used for?
To automatically optimize your video library: it detects files that do not match your presets and transcodes them via FFmpeg to harmonize formats and save disk space.
How does detection work?
Unmanic scans the library on a schedule and also monitors new files: any file that does not match your presets is queued for conversion.
Can I customize the processing?
Yes, thanks to the plugin system: compression, file moves, execution of custom commands based on size… You define your own rules.
Can transcoding be accelerated?
Yes. GPU acceleration (VA-API / NVENC) is available as an option on higher tiers to transcode much faster.
Can I change my plan or export my data?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and your media library and configuration remain exportable.
