How to self-host?

This software is free and open-source, and you can host it on your own server, for either private or public use. Ensure you meet the following requirements, then download the source code and review the configuration file.

Base requirements

A web server with PHP

(Currently only tested on nginx with PHP 8.2 and IIS with PHP 8.3, as of May 2025.)

curl and mbstring PHP extensions

The program requires these PHP extensions to be installed and enabled on the server to work.

Optional requirements

A dedicated domain name

To host the program properly, instead of in a subpath.

yt-dlp on your server

To stream videos from various platforms in MP4 format.

A cobalt API server

To have a fallback for access to media files for the most popular platforms.
