Run Unmanic in Even

Even Stacks launches Unmanic as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Unmanic in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8889, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://unmanic.localhost.

Drive Unmanic with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Unmanic directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can open the web UI in Even's browser pane and click through setup, add libraries, or change settings. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Unmanic and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Open http://localhost:8889 to configure library paths, processing plugins, and queues. Add media library folders and select FFmpeg-based plugins via the UI. Source files come from /library; processed output destination is configured per plugin.
