Shelfmark
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
Shelfmark gives you a self-hosted media and streaming application: one you deploy yourself, on a home server, NAS or VPS. Running it yourself keeps the data on your own network and lets you back it up however you like.
Development happens in the open on GitHub; the repository has collected 3.9K stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 12, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
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, Shelfmark 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.
