Run shinkro to create example config.toml

shinkro

You can optionally mention the config directory using the --config flag:

shinkro --config ~/.config/shinkro

Edit config.toml via nano or your preferred editor

nano $HOME/.config/shinkro/config.toml

Follow the shinkro configuration page below to edit and save the config.toml file. At minimum, you must set shinkro.Username, shinkro.Password, plex.PlexUsername, and plex.AnimeLibraries.

Optionally, set up a reverse proxy (recommended)

Setup systemd service

On Linux-based systems, it is recommended to run shinkro as a sort of service with auto-restarting capabilities, in order to account for potential downtime. The most common way is to do it via systemd.

Create a service file in /etc/systemd/system/ called shinkro.service:

sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/shinkro@.service

Then open the file for editing via nano or your preferred editor:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/shinkro@.service

Add the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=shinkro service for %i
After=syslog.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
Group=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/shinkro --config=/home/%i/.config/shinkro

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start the service. Enable will make it startup on reboot.

systemctl enable -q --now --user shinkro@$USER

Authenticate shinkro to update your MAL account

Setup Plex or Tautulli to use shinkro

The recommended way is to use the official Plex Webhook but it requires a Plex pass. If you do not have a plex pass, you can use Tautulli.
