A python script that syncs the movies, shows and ratings between trakt and Plex

Prerequisites

Unraid OS
Docker
Trakt.tv account
You will need to create a Trakt API app if you do not already have one:
- Visit https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications/new
- Give it a meaningful name
- Enter urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob as the redirect URL
- You can leave Javascript origins and the Permissions checkboxes blank

PlexTraktSync / Sycotix's Repository / Tools, MediaApp: Other

Media in Plex are added to Trakt collection
Ratings are synced (if ratings differ, Trakt takes precedence)
Watched status are synced (dates are not reported from Trakt to Plex)
Liked lists in Trakt are downloaded and all movies in Plex belonging to that list are added
You can edit the config file to choose what to sync
None of the above requires a Plex Pass or Trakt VIP membership. Downside: Needs to be executed manually or via cronjob, can not use live data via webhooks.

Head to the Community Applications store in Unraid
Search for and click to install PlexTrackSync from Sycotix's Repository
If you are using a custom Docker network, select it in the 'Network Type' field.
Click Apply and wait for the container to pull down and start.
In your Docker tab in Unraid, left-click the PlexTraktSync container select 'Console'.

Run python3 -m plextraktsync.
On the first run, you will be asked to set up Trakt and Plex access.
Follow the instructions, your credentials and API keys will be stored in .env and .pytrakt.json files.
If you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled on Plex you can append the code to your password.
