What is subatic?
Subatic is a self-hosted video hosting platform built with Next.js that lets you upload, transcode, and stream videos via HLS. It uses S3-compatible object storage (like MinIO, AWS S3, or Cloudflare R2) for video files and PostgreSQL for metadata. A separate transcoder service handles video processing, and the platform integrates with analytics tools like Umami, Plausible, and Google Analytics. Deployment is via Docker Compose which orchestrates the main app, transcoder, MinIO, and PostgreSQL. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and actively maintained.
