Comigo
Your comic and manga collection becomes one tidy library with Comigo, readable in any browser on any device in the house. Point it at a folder and it indexes image folders plus zip, rar, tar, cbz, cbr, and epub archives, then serves pages in scroll or page-turning layouts. Pages arrive cropped and compressed for the screen in front of you, and modern heic and avif files read beside plain jpg and png. A QR code on the server screen brings phones and tablets straight into the same library, and reading position follows you between devices mid-chapter. Your history is tracked automatically, so a series paused last month reopens at the exact page where you stopped. The built-in player handles audio and video stored beside your books, which covers drama CDs and anime extras in the same shelves. Plugins add automatic page turning and an on-screen clock, and you can write your own to change how reading sessions behave. Libraries can live on another Comigo server across the network, whole image folders download in batches, and epub files convert for dedicated e-readers. The offline mode reads archives directly inside the browser with nothing uploaded, which suits borrowed machines and locked-down networks.

Webtor
Webtor turns any magnet link or .torrent file into instant in-browser streaming and direct downloads on your own server, with no desktop torrent client and nothing to install for viewers. Drop in a magnet, an infohash, or a torrent file and the file list appears in seconds; pick a video and it plays in the built-in player while the pieces are still arriving, or take a plain HTTP download link for any single file instead. Whole torrents come down as ZIP or TAR archives generated on the fly with the folder structure preserved, and formats from MKV and MP4 to FLAC and MP3 stream without a separate transcoding step in most cases. Torrents you keep go into a personal library that recognizes movies and series automatically and enriches them with posters and descriptions, and the same library can mount as a network drive over WebDAV or S3 and play on a TV through the Stremio addon. Subtitles are matched from OpenSubtitles inside the player, uploaded tracks are supported, and optional AI translation renders them in your language; a master password locks the instance, the player embeds into other sites through the JavaScript SDK, and a REST API drives everything from your own code.

Universal Media Server
Every screen in the house (browser, TV, game console, or phone) can open the same library of videos, music, and photos once Universal Media Server shares it, with transcoding handled automatically for whichever device asks. A file the device can already play passes through untouched. Anything else is converted on the fly to suit the network, the device, and the preferred language. Folders open at once, with no wait for library scans, and disc drives and disc images play directly. In the web interface, every title gets a page with cover art, cast, and genre details from TMDB, Discogs, and MusicBrainz, and filters narrow the library by actor, director, genre, year, or artist. YouTube channels, online radio, podcasts, and RSS feeds appear beside local files on every connected device. Users and groups, with optional avatars and four-digit PINs, decide which shared folders each person sees; content for children stays apart from the library for adults. A list of detected renderers shows every connected device, and the configuration file of each device can be edited to fix browsing, playback, or transcoding on an unsupported TV. Builds exist for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with AppImage and Docker options for servers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.
RelayTV
Your couch becomes the control room with RelayTV, a self-hosted media hub that runs on the Linux box plugged into your TV. Connect Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby once, then search films, open a series, pick an episode, resume where you stopped, or drop the pick into the shared queue. Paste a web video link to play it on the big screen, or queue an entire YouTube playlist of up to a thousand videos in order without pausing tonight's movie. The TV idles on a dashboard with a QR code, and anyone in the room scans it to join the same remote, browse, and add picks to the queue. Add M3U playlists to build a My Channels lineup, pin favorites to the top, rewind inside the buffered window when you miss a line, and jump straight back to live. Playback, queue advancement, history, and overlays all run on the box itself, so the TV keeps playing after your phone leaves the page. Every screen appears in Home Assistant as a media player, and the local HTTP API takes play, queue, overlay, and snapshot calls from scripts and dashboards. A second RelayTV in the bedroom can receive the active queue from the living room, and the optional API token locks control down on shared networks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Meridian
Meridian puts all of your Emby reverse proxy sites, playback routes, and day to day operations into one clean management panel instead of a pile of hand-written proxy configs. Each Emby site gets its own entry through a path, a dedicated port, or a subdomain, with primary and backup routes that switch automatically when one goes down. Three playback modes let video stream directly to clients while logins, posters, and API calls continue through the proxy, so bandwidth lands where it should. Accounts for each site are stored with passwords and expiry dates, renewal reminders arrive ahead of time, and account details can be imported or exported as JSON and CSV. Traffic trends, per-site quotas, rate limits, and static resource caching keep busy sites under control, while log filtering and connection diagnostics show exactly where a request went wrong. Certificates are handled through Cloudflare wildcard issuance and renewal, or by uploading your own, and encrypted backups protect the whole configuration. Routine administration can even happen from Telegram, checking daily reports, adding or pausing sites, and renewing accounts from chat. The whole panel runs as one small program with a built-in database and works comfortably from a phone. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
nodecast-tv
Bring your own IPTV provider and nodecast-tv gives it a fast browser interface for live channels, a program guide, movies, and series. Add an Xtream Codes or M3U provider in Settings, then zap through channels with category grouping and search; playlists of thousands of channels scroll smoothly. The 24-hour TV guide is interactive, and movie and series pages show posters, ratings, metadata, and seasonal episode lists. Favorites sync across channels, movies, and series, and the home page keeps a Continue Watching shelf and recently added titles within reach. Transcoding steps in only when a stream needs it, using hardware encoders and surround-to-stereo downmix presets like Night Mode and Cinematic. Admin and viewer roles control who can change settings, and OIDC single sign-on works with Authentik, Keycloak, and similar providers. Hidden categories, volume memory, and auto-play fine-tune playback. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Xiu
Point OBS at it, and the same live stream comes out in whatever protocol each viewer needs. Xiu is an open-source live media server that accepts publishing over RTMP, RTSP, and WebRTC WHIP, then redistributes every stream as RTMP, RTSP, HTTP-FLV, HLS, or low-latency WebRTC WHEP playback. Cameras and encoders pushing H.264, H.265, or AAC over TCP or UDP become browser-friendly HLS and HTTP-FLV without a separate transcoding tier, and GOP caching gets late joiners to a keyframe fast. Static push and pull relaying chains servers together: one origin ingests, regional nodes pull, and audiences play from the node nearest them; RTMP clustering covers larger fan-outs. Every live stream can also be recorded straight to HLS files, giving you an instant archive of broadcasts, lessons, and town halls. Token authentication guards publishing and playback, HTTP callbacks report stream start and stop events to your backend, and an HTTP API answers stream information queries for your own dashboards and automation. Operators shape ports, protocols, relays, and recording in one configuration file or with command-line flags, running a single binary that stays out of the way until the audience arrives. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
BookLore
BookLore centralizes personal electronic book, audiobook, and comic collections into an organized private media server equipped with automated metadata scrapers and e-reader synchronization. Users can drop EPUB, PDF, CBZ, and MOBI files into a watched BookDrop directory to trigger automated format parsing, background cover retrieval, and staged queue imports. Integrated metadata scrapers query Google Books, Open Library, Goodreads, and Amazon to automatically fill synopsis summaries, author records, publishing dates, and review scores. Dynamic Magic Shelves categorize volumes through custom rule-based filters, author collections, and full-text search indexes across your complete literature catalog. The browser-based reader renders documents with adjustable typography, night modes, audio playback controls, text annotations, and persistent bookmarking. Hardware e-readers and mobile devices connect through native Kobo Store emulation APIs, bidirectional KOReader progress synchronization, and OPDS catalog feeds. Multi-tenant permissions provide each household member with private reading statistics, personalized shelves, email book delivery, and direct send-to-Kindle dispatch. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GNU AGPLv3 licensed.
Yarrtube
Follow the channels you actually chose, and let their newest uploads land on your own disk instead of in an algorithmic feed. Yarrtube tracks public YouTube playlists and whole channels, checks them on a schedule, and downloads fresh videos automatically the moment they appear. The built-in web player lets you watch the collected library from a desktop or a phone browser without ads interrupting. Downloads are organized into media-server friendly folders, so the same collection shows up inside Plex, Jellyfin, or Kodi next to your films and shows. For Plex homes, an optional scan trigger refreshes the library right after a download finishes, so new episodes surface without manual rescans. You control download quality per source and can cap how many videos each channel keeps, which protects limited disk space from runaway back catalogs. Grouping sources into categories and smart playlists keeps a growing archive browsable instead of turning into one long dump. Everything runs from one Docker container with two persistent mounts, one for its small database and one for the video files. A free YouTube Data API v3 key powers the new-upload checks, so setup takes minutes. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Supysonic
Supysonic streams a music library you own to the whole ecosystem of Subsonic clients, from phone apps to desktop and car players, from one Python server. Point it at your folders and it indexes artists, albums, and tracks, browsable by the folder layout on disk or by the tags written into the files. Streams adapt as they play, with lossless collections transcoded down for mobile data and the original files untouched on the server. Star favorites, rate albums, build playlists by hand, or let the server deal a random one for the drive. Cover art travels with the music, internet radio stations join the library, and jukebox playback plus a simple chat serve the whole household. Every play can scrobble to Last.fm and ListenBrainz, keeping a listening history that belongs to you across services. A command-line tool manages users, folders, and scans, and an optional watcher daemon notices new files the moment they land in the library. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
BookOrbit
Consolidate your entire digital library into a self-hosted reading sanctuary with BookOrbit, an open-source media platform that organizes ebooks, audiobooks, comic archives, and research PDFs within a personal private cloud. Readers can enjoy multi-format media directly through responsive browser readers that support EPUB, CBZ, and M4B formats without external browser extensions. The platform synchronizes reading bookmarks, highlights, and completion statuses across web interfaces, Kobo ereaders, and KOReader devices. An automated metadata enrichment engine queries fourteen upstream bibliographic indexes, downloading cover artwork, chapter breakdowns, author biographies, and series taxonomies. The staging workspace allows librarians to inspect incoming files, review suggested metadata revisions, and embed updated tags directly into physical storage archives before shelving. Custom reading dashboards track annual book goals, calculate daily streaks, and plot reading habit radar charts. Multi-user configurations support distinct per-user collections, granular content permissions, and single sign-on authentication through OpenID Connect providers. Power users can export private OPDS feeds to external mobile reading applications or push books directly to connected Kindle hardware.

Jellydash
Jellydash answers the questions every Jellyfin admin asks, starting with who is watching right now and whether that stream is transcoding. Live cards show each session's artwork, user, quality, progress, and playback method, including the reason a transcode was needed, and live TV channels appear with real program progress. Behind the scenes, a background poller records every play even when nobody has the dashboard open, building a history you can search, filter by user or library, and export to CSV with poster art intact. Older Jellyfin or Emby Playback Reporting backups import in seconds, so years of viewing are not lost when you switch. Statistics turn that history into watch-time trends, top users, device and client activity, codec breakdowns, and transcode reasons, and clicking a chart opens the exact plays behind it. A monthly recap looks back at a finished month with rankings and daily activity, while trending and all-time most-watched strips show what your household actually loves. Optional pages follow Jellyseerr requests as they arrive and read the status of SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, and NZBGet clients without ever touching their queues. Server activity, maintenance tasks, and system status stay one click away, and selected users can be excluded from monitoring entirely. When someone presses play, a notification can reach your phone through Telegram, Pushover, Discord, ntfy, Gotify, or Web Push. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Immich
With over 110,000 GitHub stars and one of the fastest-growing open-source communities in the self-hosted space, Immich delivers a Google Photos-grade experience entirely on your own hardware. The platform handles automatic background backup from Android and iOS devices, deduplication, and support for RAW formats, LivePhotos, and MotionPhotos. Its machine learning pipeline runs facial recognition and clustering locally on your server, enabling you to group photos by person without sending a single image to the cloud. CLIP-based semantic search lets you find images by describing their content in natural language, while metadata-driven search covers EXIF data, dates, and locations. The web interface built with SvelteKit provides a responsive timeline view, albums, shared albums with configurable permissions, public sharing links with optional passwords and expiry dates, partner sharing for family libraries, and a global map plotting photos by GPS coordinates. Administrative features include multi-user support with per-user storage quotas, OAuth integration, API key management, and a user-defined storage structure for organizing files on disk. The architecture uses PostgreSQL for metadata, Redis with BullMQ for background job queues handling thumbnail generation, video transcoding, and smart search indexing, and exposes over 400 REST API endpoints documented via OpenAPI with auto-generated SDKs for web, mobile, and CLI clients. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
NeXroll
Give movie night a proper cinema preshow: NeXroll plays intros, trailers, and custom welcome screens before the feature on Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. Build sequences in a list or a visual Flow view, with branches that pick a fallback when no trailer is available and rules for time of day, age rating, genre, or audio format. Schedules rotate the lineup automatically, with holiday themes, special event dates, priorities, and filler between them, all visible in month, week, and day calendars. Import your own videos, preview them, tag them, and sort them into categories, then pull in more from a community collection filtered by creator or platform. NeX-Up fetches upcoming movie and TV trailers through Radarr and Sonarr, and Library Trailers replays trailers for films you already own. Generator Studio makes welcome videos, announcements, QR code screens, and Coming Soon clips from your own text, logo, backdrop, and soundtrack, with a live preview. Connect several media servers to one install, switch among eight themes, back up and restore settings, and automate with the External API. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
SyncWatch
Movie night should not depend on everyone pressing play at the same second; SyncWatch runs your own watch-party server so friends in different places watch the same frame together. The host controls play, pause, seeking, and playback speed for the whole room, and late joiners or drifting clients are corrected back to the shared position automatically. You build the program from uploads or direct HTTPS media links, with subtitles, audio, images, and documents handled in the same library. Rooms can be permanent or temporary, protected by passwords and member limits, with host, admin, and permission-group control over who may operate playback. Between scenes, people talk through public and private chat, on-screen danmaku comments, emoji, voice messages, or full-room voice. Anyone can share a browser tab, window, desktop, or phone screen into the room, so a clip, a game, or a presentation becomes the shared screen. The server also keeps friends, notifications, online presence, bans, registration approvals, and an operations log, so a private community can run itself without a platform account. Uploaded media is analyzed and thumbnailed automatically, with browser-compatible versions generated for awkward formats. Backups, data export, a recycle bin, mail verification, and network diagnostics round out the admin side. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
LMS
LMS is a self-hosted music server that streams your own library to any web browser or Subsonic-compatible player. Point it at a folder of tagged files and it builds a library that understands multi-valued genres and moods, composer, conductor, and producer credits, release types, and release groups that keep remasters beside the original. MusicBrainz identifiers settle duplicate artist and album names, and an artist information folder in Kodi NFO format adds biographies and portraits. Browse with filters like Electronic plus Relaxed, then switch on radio mode and the queue refills itself with similar tracks, chosen by audio similarity or by tags. Plays can be scrobbled to ListenBrainz and Last.fm, and loved tracks synchronize with ListenBrainz. Phone apps connect through the Subsonic and OpenSubsonic API with a personal API key, and transcoding trims bandwidth on slow connections. ReplayGain evens out loudness, podcasts and lyrics sit in the same interface, and an admin-only jukebox mode plays through the server's own audio output. Several libraries can live side by side, a .lmsignore file keeps unwanted folders out of scans, and logins can use the internal user database, PAM, or reverse-proxy SSO headers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Nowen Video
Nowen Video turns the hard drive of films and series sitting on your NAS into a streaming service your family actually wants to open, posters, seasons, and all. Point it at your media folders and it scans the usual formats, reads streams with FFprobe, and scrapes rich metadata from TMDb, Douban, TheTVDB, Bangumi, and Fanart.tv, recognizing movie, season, and episode naming as it goes. NFO files and external subtitles are honored, filesystem watching keeps the library current, and collections plus episode navigation make a big archive feel curated rather than dumped. Pressing play is where the engineering shows: a server-side planner decides per client whether to direct play, remux, or transcode to HLS on demand, with automatic fallback when the first choice fails. Hardware acceleration through the GPU keeps transcoding cheap, subtitle and speed controls ride along in the player, and a local analysis pass can surface highlight clips from your own footage. Every family member gets favorites, watch history, and continue-watching progress under their own account, while library permissions decide who sees what. An Emby-compatible API even lets clients like Infuse connect as if it were an Emby server. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Trailarr
Trailarr fills the gaps in your media library by finding, downloading, and organizing trailers for the movies and shows you already own, so browsing your collection feels like browsing a cinema lobby instead of a folder of silent posters. Connect multiple Radarr, Sonarr, and Plex instances and it watches what arrives, fetches matching trailers automatically, and saves them right next to your media using Plex naming conventions that also suit Emby and Jellyfin. Existing trailers are detected before anything downloads, so duplicates never pile up, and Plex Pass trailers that already meet your minimum resolution are left untouched. Custom profiles put you in charge of quality, format, and processing, including how long to wait between downloads and whether conversion happens at all. From the web interface you can search and filter the whole library, open any title to check its trailer status, swap in a different YouTube trailer ID, or trim unwanted seconds from the start or end of a clip. Path mappings translate between the paths your downloaders report and the paths your server actually uses, a classic source of broken media setups. Hardware acceleration through VAAPI on Intel and AMD keeps conversion light, Discord notifications flag important events, and an event history shows what happened and when. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
