# MetadataRelay This is a service that provides metadata for movies and TV shows. It is advisable to use a load balancer/CDN like Cloudflare to cache requests as to not overload the TMDB/TVDB api. I (the developer) run a public instance of this service at https://metadata-relay.dorninger.co, but you can also run your own instance. ## Example Docker Compose Configuration ````yaml services: metadata_relay: image: ghcr.io/maxdorninger/mediamanager/metadata_relay:latest restart: always environment: - TMDB_API_KEY= # you need not provide a TMDB API key, if you only want to use TVDB metadata, or the other way around - TVDB_API_KEY= container_name: metadata_relay ports: - 8000:8000 ````
