Platform for hosting and sharing terminal session recordings
asciinema-server is the backend component of the asciinema suite. Built with Elixir and Phoenix, it provides an API and web UI for hosting, sharing, and managing terminal session recordings (asciicasts). It allows you to self-host your own instance or use the public asciinema.org.
...The system integrates with GitHub for authentication and uses Tigris for media storage and delivery, with optional support for services like FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and OBS Studio for livestream testing and video processing. The repository includes all setup instructions, from environment configuration to database initialization, making it accessible for developers to self-host or experiment locally.
...The required assets are not included in the repo in build form and can therefore not be used. It is possible to build locally and use the generated package. (See Build manually for more information.) To view the web interface just enter http://<host>[:<port>]/ in the browser and it should show the :wobserver interface. The default port is 4001, but the port can be changed in the configuration.
