## What it is
Streama is a self-hosted streaming media server that lets you organize and stream your own movies and TV shows, acting as a personal Netflix. It provides a web interface with a dashboard, video player, admin panel, and user management.

## Use cases
- self-host my own netflix for my movie collection
- stream my local video library to family and friends
- organize digitalized shows and movies with metadata
- host a private video streaming site on my own server
- share home videos with multi-user access control
- replace plex or netflix with an open-source media server

## When to choose
- you want full control over hosting and streaming your own video files
- you need multi-user accounts with permissions on a private media library
- you prefer an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Netflix or Plex

## When to avoid
- you need transcoding for many simultaneous clients or heavy codec support
- you want automatic metadata scraping from providers without manual setup
- you need music or photo library support rather than video
