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.

Features

  • API endpoint for uploading asciicast files via CLI
  • Embedded asciinema player for seamless terminal playback
  • Options for public, unlisted, or private session visibility
  • Embeddable sessions via SVG thumbnails or iframe
  • Metadata editing (title, description) using Markdown
  • Privacy-focused—no ads or tracking, full ownership with self‑hosting
