With Plappa, you get a self-hosted media and streaming application that lives on your own server, under your rules. Running it yourself keeps the data on your own network and lets you back it up however you like.

It is a closed-source product that supports self-hosted deployment, which is why it appears in this directory. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for iOS.

Before you switch

Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Plappa is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
