## What it is
Fireshare is a self-hosted video and image sharing application that gives every uploaded file a unique shareable URL. It runs as a single Docker container and supports public/private feeds, password protection, transcoding, and game-clip organization with cover art.

## Use cases
- self-host my game clips and share them via links
- share videos with friends without uploading to YouTube
- host a private video library on my own server
- share clips in Discord with rich link previews
- password-protect videos I share
- organize gaming clips by game with cover art
- transcode videos for browser playback on my own server

## When to choose
- you want full control over your media without cloud storage limits
- you need simple link-based video sharing with embeds in chat apps
- you want a lightweight alternative to Plex/Jellyfin focused on sharing clips
- you need password-protected or private link-only video sharing

## When to avoid
- you need full media server features like live TV, DVR, or user accounts for family streaming
- you want to host large public video platforms with comments and channels
- you need formats beyond MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM
- you require multi-user content management or team collaboration
