Janitorr automates scheduled cleanup for Jellyfin stacks
Janitorr is an open-source cleanup tool for self-hosted media stacks that connects Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseerr, and Jellyfin to track watched or aged content and delete it on a schedule. It also creates a “leaving soon” collection in Jellyfin so users can see what is about to be removed before the cleanup runs.
Useful if you already run a *arr + Jellyfin setup and want retention to be automated instead of managed by hand.
- –Ties deletion decisions to the wider media stack, not just Jellyfin alone.
- –Adds a visible warning window via the “leaving soon” collection, which reduces surprise deletions.
- –Best fit for users comfortable with scheduled automation and careful config.
- –The main tradeoff is trust: this is powerful cleanup automation, so dry-run and exclusion tags matter.
