Homehost is a self-hosted, Netflix-like web application for streaming your personal media collection (movies, TV shows, and music) within a home network. It is built with a React client and a Node.js server that scans media directories, fetches metadata from TMDb and Spotify, and stores it in a local database.
Use cases
- stream my movie collection on my home network with a Netflix-style interface
- self-hosted media server for TV shows and movies
- browse and play my local music library like Spotify
- catalog my media files with metadata from TMDb and Spotify
- family media streaming app without cloud services
- watch my local video files in a browser with search
When to choose
- you want a Netflix-like UI for your own media files on a home network
- you prefer a lightweight self-hosted alternative to Plex/Jellyfin focused on streaming
- your media follows simple directory naming conventions and you want automatic TMDb/Spotify metadata
When to avoid
- you need transcoding for unsupported codecs or remote access outside your home
- you need audiobooks, podcasts, photos, or DVR features
- you cannot obtain TMDb and Spotify API keys or your media naming is inconsistent
