📋 Script Details

Shoko Server organizes anime collections — identifies files by hash against AniDB, pulls metadata from TvDB/TMDB/Trakt, exposes the result to Plex, Jellyfin and Kodi via plugins. Requested in discussion #7635.

No .NET SDK and no source build needed. The release assets look Windows-only at first glance (Shoko.Setup.exe, Shoko.TrayService_win-x64.zip), but Shoko.CLI_Framework_any-x64.zip is framework-dependent and cross-platform:

• publish/Shoko.CLI is a Linux ELF launcher next to Shoko.CLI.dll
• Shoko.CLI.runtimeconfig.json asks only for Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.0 + Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 8.0.0

So apt install aspnetcore-runtime-8.0 — available in Debian trixie itself, no Microsoft repository required — plus prebuild deployment of that zip. Upstream's documented dotnet build -c=Release -r linux-x64 path is not used; it would pull in the full SDK for no benefit.

• HOME=/opt/shoko_data so the database and settings land outside the app directory and survive CLEAN_INSTALL updates.
• mediainfo and librhash0 are installed for file analysis and hashing.
• Note: AniDB is mandatory and rate-limits aggressively. Flagged as a warning to leave the default throttling alone during a large import, otherwise the account gets banned.
• has_arm: false — the asset is x64 only.

The Shoko script is ready for testing:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/shoko.sh)"

Complete the first-run wizard at http://:8111. An AniDB account is required - Shoko identifies files against AniDB and without it the whole point is lost.
AniDB enforces strict rate limits and bans clients that hammer the API. Leave the default throttling alone when importing a large collection, or the account gets temporarily banned.
Your anime files are not stored in the container - mount the library into the LXC and add it as an import folder. Shoko's own database and settings live in /opt/shoko_data.
Runs on the framework-dependent release build with the ASP.NET Core 8 runtime from Debian, so no .NET SDK and no compilation is needed. Upstream also documents a source build, which this script does not use.

Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.
