What is it?

Fireshare is a self-hosted application for sharing videos, especially game clips, through unique links. You point it at directories of video and image files, and it scans them, generates posters and metadata, and organizes content into a web dashboard. Videos can be shared publicly in feeds or kept private and accessible only through their link.

The app runs in Docker and supports multiple users with per-user permissions, password-protected videos, folder sharing, tags, view counts, and simple video cropping. Games are grouped automatically with cover art, and games can also be added by hand with custom artwork. Notifications can be sent to Discord and other services, and an RSS feed lists new public videos.

Optional transcoding creates lower-quality versions for adaptive playback, using CPU or NVIDIA GPU encoding. Fireshare also includes HDR-to-SDR tone mapping for washed-out HDR captures. Security options include two-factor authentication with TOTP apps and login IP whitelisting.
