Self-healing media server with a Netflix-like interface

   Uncompressed – Self-hosted Netflix alternative at 60 Mbps instead of 15▲11

   Netflix compresses 4K to 15 Mbps. A Blu-ray remux is 60 Mbps. Dark scenes, fast motion, grain. That's where you see it. I wanted my family to have Blu-ray quality with a streaming UX. They open Overseerr on their phone, request a movie, and it shows up in Infuse on Apple TV. Subtitles in three languages, hardware transcoding for mobile, full remux on the big screen. They have no idea what's behind it. What's behind it: Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr find and grab content. qBittorrent downloads through a WireGuard tunnel. Bazarr pulls subtitles. Jellyfin serves it all. Everything self-heals —…

   I've built a nice home server OS▲194

   ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

    GuMCP – Open-source MCP servers, hosted for free▲79

    Hello! We open sourced all our current MCP servers to platforms like Slack, Google sheets, Linear, Perplexity and will be contributing a few more integrations every day to the project. problems we're hoping to solve: - Many people are creating MCP servers for the same apps. They're scattered across different repos but flavors of the same thing. We're making one standardized mono project for all MCP servers. - Startups are charging for hosting MCP servers. This is blocking tons of people from being able to play around with MCP casually. We're hosting them for free. - Non-technical people…
