Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Is there any self-hosted application that can monitor your watch history and provide movie/TV show recommendations?

Flox, MediaTracker and Movary. Didn't try any of those.

And some also sync with TMDB ;)

Oh MediaTracker looks nice, thanks!

tbh I'm not sure if you'd find something self-hosted that's as good as Trakt or TMDB since the main value comes from user recommendations and comments, which you won't really have with a self-hosted solution. Maybe a federated system is a potential solution, but I haven't seen anything built for this purpose yet.

Biggest downside of TMBD is that impossible to mark as watched without giving rating.

This is probably waaaay outside what you're asking, but MythTV can do the tracking for whatever you watch through it (both TV and movies) or listen to... but it can't do suggestions.
