Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Abdullah, the maker of Vodstack. I kept paying per-minute for hosted video platforms just to put a handful of videos online and I never really owned my content or controlled where it lived. So I built Vodstack: an open-source, self-hosted video streaming platform you run on your own infrastructure. You upload a video, and Vodstack handles the whole pipeline for you: 🎬 Transcodes it into an adaptive-bitrate HLS ladder (240p → 2160p) with ffmpeg 🔐 Protects playback with HMAC signed URLs + an nginx edge cache (built for real traffic) 🎛️ Ships a React admin panel drag-drop upload, live encode progress, analytics ▶️ Includes a rich player with chapters, thumbnails, subtitles & quality menus 🧰 Comes with a TypeScript SDK, webhooks, auto-captions (WhisperX) and in video search 🐳 Spins up with a single docker compose command It's MIT-licensed and free your videos, your server, your rules. I'd love your honest feedback what would make this genuinely useful for your projects? And if you find it interesting, a ⭐ on GitHub means a lot 🙏
