Seanime
Seanime is a self-hosted server for an anime and manga library, built around AniList. It scans local media, tracks progress back to AniList, searches torrents through extension-based providers, downloads through qBittorrent, Transmission, Torbox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid or Premiumize, streams torrent and debrid content straight to a player, auto-downloads airing episodes, and includes a manga reader and online streaming via extensions.

Notes
A random server password is generated at install and saved to
/root/seanime.creds. Seanime authenticates with that password alone — there is no username. Change it under [server] in /opt/seanime-data/config.toml and restart seanime.service.Seanime is built around a single AniList account per instance and has no multi-user accounts or role-based access. Trakt and SIMKL are not supported, and MyAnimeList is limited to optional progress sync.
Attach your existing library to the container, then point Seanime at it under Settings: pct set [CTID] -mp0 /path/on/host,mp=/mnt/anime
GPU passthrough is enabled by default during installation and can be turned off in the Advanced install options. The matching Intel/AMD/NVIDIA drivers and jellyfin-ffmpeg7 are installed for it. Transcoding itself is off by default: enable it under Settings > Transcoding / Direct Play, then set Hardware acceleration to Intel (QSV), Intel (QSV Low-Power), VAAPI or NVIDIA (NVENC). That choice is stored in Seanime's database, so the installer cannot preset it.
The data directory /opt/seanime-data lives on the container disk and holds config.toml, the database, logs, the transcode cache, downloaded manga and — when the built-in torrent client is used — downloads. It is kept outside /opt/seanime so updates can replace the binary cleanly. Increase the disk size or bind-mount storage before building a large library.
