Automated Exports

Set up a systemd timer for automated monthly exports with CSV checkpointing.

Setup Timer

Monthly

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brege/plex-letterboxd/refs/heads/main/systemd/install.sh)

Or weekly

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brege/plex-letterboxd/refs/heads/main/systemd/install.sh) weekly

The timer will run the exporter on your chosen schedule, producing CSV files in ~/.config/plex-letterboxd/data/. Configure the output data directory via config.yaml to change.

I suggest running this on the same machine Plex runs on, since it's typically always online.
