Toutui
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
With Toutui, 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.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 171 stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Dec 12, 2025, and the project is classed as maintained in our snapshot. 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 Linux.
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, Toutui 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.
