MediaGoblin

A free software media publishing platform that anyone can run.

MediaGoblin is a free software media publishing platform that anyone can run, positioned as a decentralized alternative to services such as Flickr, YouTube and SoundCloud. It lets people publish and share media on their own server rather than relying on a single hosted service, and it is part of the GNU project.

The platform supports multiple media types, including video, and is built for extensibility. It can be installed on your own server using a step-by-step guide, or used through an existing community instance. Releases are published under the GNU AGPLv3, with recent versions including 0.15.0 and earlier 0.14.0, 0.13.0 and 0.12.x releases.

MediaGoblin is aimed at individuals and communities that want to self-host their own media publishing site. It is distributed as free software rather than a hosted subscription service, so there is no free plan, trial or seat-based edition; you run it yourself or join an instance operated by someone else.
