Kyoo is a self-hosted media streaming platform designed to organize, stream, and manage personal video libraries through a modern web interface. It is built around a containerized architecture using Docker, where multiple services handle media indexing, streaming, and configuration. The system allows users to access their content from a browser while maintaining control over storage and playback infrastructure. Kyoo supports hardware acceleration options for efficient video processing, making it suitable for high-resolution streaming environments. Its configuration relies on environment variables and Docker Compose, enabling flexible deployment across different systems. The platform emphasizes modularity, allowing users to customize storage locations, streaming settings, and performance parameters. With a focus on self-hosting and scalability, Kyoo provides an alternative to commercial media servers for users who want full control over their content.
