What is it?

ClipBucket V5 is an open source PHP script for launching your own video sharing platform, similar to a YouTube or Netflix-style site. It can run a dedicated video site, a dedicated photo site, or both at once. Users can create playlists and collections, send friend requests, exchange private messages and comment with a visual editor.

The project is an updated continuation of the original ClipBucket, with support for PHP 8.1 through 8.5+, MySQL 9+ in strict mode, UHD video resolutions, HLS conversion, subtitles, Chromecast, age restriction, TMDB integration and an AI-based NSFW check. It includes a dark and light theme, a database update system and translations in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

Installation is available through a Docker image, with a lite variant for external databases, or on a dedicated server using PHP, MariaDB or MySQL, FFmpeg and mediainfo. Installs made with git can update themselves from the admin dashboard.
