A minimal Ubuntu 24.04 LTS virtual private server — no pre-installed applications, no opinionated configuration, just the operating system and root access. Start from a clean slate and install exactly what you need: web servers, databases, development toolchains, CI runners, monitoring stacks, VPN endpoints, game servers, or anything else that runs on Linux. The server ships with apt package management, systemd service supervision, and standard networking configured out of the box, giving you access to over 36,000 packages in the Universe repository alone. Connect via SSH with the key you select during deployment; a dedicated IPv4 address is included with every server at no extra charge. A browser-based serial console in the RepoCloud dashboard provides emergency access without an SSH client. Snapshots let you capture the server state before risky changes and roll back with one click. Resize CPU and RAM on demand without reinstalling. Canonical's standard security maintenance covers this LTS release through May 2029 — five years of patches for the Main repository. Ubuntu Pro extends that to ten years with additional Universe coverage, kernel livepatching, and compliance tooling, available free for up to five machines.

Browse trending titles, search anything, request it in two clicks: Jellyseerr gives Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex users a beautiful storefront for the media library. Born as the Overseerr fork that added Jellyfin and Emby support (the projects have since unified as Seerr), it handles the full request lifecycle - users authenticate with their existing media-server accounts, pick individual seasons or movies in a clean interface, and admins approve or decline from a simple queue, including on mobile. Approved requests flow straight to Sonarr and Radarr, which handle acquisition automatically, with support for separate 4K server instances. Regular library scans keep availability accurate, so users see instantly what already exists instead of requesting duplicates. A granular permission system controls who can request what - auto-approval for trusted users, quotas and limits elsewhere - and override rules adjust request routing by user, tag, or other conditions. Watchlist and blocklist functions curate discovery, notifications reach email, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Pushover, and Pushbullet, and both PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. Localized into many languages, it turns "can you add this movie?" texts into a self-service system that runs itself.

"The easiest music streaming server available" is mStream's own billing, and the claim holds up: a lightweight Node.js app that turns a folder of audio files into a private streaming service in minutes, no external database required. Its filesystem-based design is the clever part - the API mirrors your folder structure, so you can browse and play music immediately, before any library scan finishes, and your organization on disk is your organization in the app. It streams flac, mp3, wav, ogg, opus, aac, and m4a, which matters to the audiophile crowd: FLAC plays uncompressed, bit-perfect, with gapless playback for live albums and continuous mixes. The web player runs anywhere a browser does and packs personality - a Milkdrop-style visualizer (Butterchurn), playlist sharing via links, and drag-and-drop uploads straight through the file explorer. Native iOS and Android apps add the feature streaming subscriptions can't match: sync your collection to your phone for true offline playback of music you own. Multi-user support assigns separate directories and permissions per account. Resource usage is famously light - mStream is tested on multi-terabyte libraries and runs happily on a Raspberry Pi, so a small RepoCloud instance serves a lifetime's collection. GPL-licensed, with zero listening-habit telemetry.

Spotify economics without the subscription or catalog gaps: Navidrome, the reference self-hosted music server, streams your own FLAC, MP3, and ALAC collection from a single Go binary with a React/Material UI web player. Its Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API compatibility is the superpower: 50+ existing clients work out of the box, from Symfonium and DSub on Android to Feishin and Sonixd on desktop, plus Android Auto, CarPlay, and Android TV apps. Transcoding is server-managed and FFmpeg-backed - FLAC direct-plays at home and downsamples to MP3, AAC, or Opus over mobile bandwidth, with the OpenSubsonic transcoding extension letting clients declare capabilities and receive per-track direct-play or transcode decisions automatically. Multi-user support gives every account its own play counts, favorites, ratings, and playlists, and multi-library support scopes different collections to different users. The feature list covers serious listening: Last.fm and ListenBrainz scrobbling, artist bios and images, embedded and external lyrics, audiobook bookmarks, saved play queues that resume on another device, internet radio, jukebox mode, and M3U playlist auto-import kept in sync with your folder. Resource usage is famously low - it runs happily on a Raspberry Pi and scales to six-figure track counts.

Subtitles are the one chore Sonarr and Radarr leave behind - Bazarr finishes the *arr media stack by automating them. It connects to both via their APIs and mirrors their libraries - it doesn't scan disk itself, it manages exactly what your *arr apps index. For every monitored episode and movie it checks existing internal and external subtitles against your language profiles, then hunts missing ones across dozens of providers - OpenSubtitles.com, Podnapisi, Addic7ed, Subscene, and many regional sources - covering 184 subtitle languages including forced/foreign-dialogue tracks. Matching is smarter than filename guessing: releases are compared by release group and source, some providers support exact file-hash matching, and every downloaded subtitle gets a percentage score. Set a minimum score per Sonarr/Radarr connection and Bazarr rejects weak matches; enable upgrades and it replaces previously downloaded subtitles when better ones surface. Out-of-sync files get fixed too - automatic subtitle synchronization realigns timing after download, triggered only below a configurable score threshold so good subs aren't touched. Per-show and per-movie language configuration, download history, manual on-demand search, and adaptive searching that throttles provider API calls round it out, all behind a clean Sonarr-style web UI written in Python. If your library serves multilingual viewers, this removes the last manual step.

Serious readers organize, convert, edit, and serve their e-book libraries with Calibre - the definitive open-source e-book manager. This deployment runs the full Calibre desktop application on your server, accessible from any browser, so your library lives in one authoritative place instead of scattered across devices. Its conversion engine is the best in the business, translating between every major format - EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, DOCX, and dozens more - with fine control over fonts, margins, metadata, and structure detection. Metadata management downloads covers, descriptions, series info, and identifiers from online sources, and every field is editable in bulk. Beyond cataloging, Calibre includes a full e-book editor for EPUB and AZW3 internals, a news engine that fetches newspapers and magazines from the web on schedule and converts them into e-books, book comparison tools, and device syncing that sends the right format to each connected reader. The built-in content server exposes your library over HTTP so phones, tablets, and e-readers can browse and download remotely. A deep plugin ecosystem extends everything - metadata sources, format support, store integrations. For power users, the complete CLI (calibredb, ebook-convert) enables scripted library automation. Your books, your metadata, your server - permanent and DRM-free storage under your control.

Point Emby at your movie, music, and photo libraries and it becomes a private streaming service: metadata and artwork arrive from TMDB and TVDB, everything lands in a polished browsable interface, and media transcodes on the fly whenever a client can't play the original format. The client reach is the selling point: native apps span Android TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Roku, LG and Samsung smart TVs, iOS, Android, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, plus web browsers and desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and DLNA devices are auto-detected for casting and remote control. Multi-user support gives each household member their own account, watch history, favorites, and recommendations, with genuinely capable parental controls: content restrictions, access schedules, time limits, and live monitoring with remote control of kids' sessions. Live TV works with hardware tuners like HDHomeRun or M3U playlists, with free guide data in the US, Canada, and UK. The server and core features are free; an optional Premiere key adds hardware-accelerated transcoding, DVR recording, offline sync, and Cinema Mode intros.

The moment after ShadowPlay saves a great clip is what Fireshare was built for: your friends see it now, not after a YouTube upload, processing queue, and platform terms review. Drop videos into a watched folder and this Flask/React application generates a unique shareable URL for each one, complete with Open Graph metadata - so pasting the link into Discord, Twitter, or Slack produces a proper embed with title, description, and video thumbnail instead of a raw URL. Viewers need no account and no app. Visibility is per-file: public (browseable on your feed), private (unlisted, reachable only by direct link), or password protected. For game clips specifically, Fireshare organizes automatically - clips sort by game with cover art pulled from SteamGridDB, no manual tagging - while tags and full-library search cover everything else. Optional transcoding (CPU or GPU) creates lower-quality renditions so viewers on weak connections get automatic quality adaptation, and video cropping trims clips in place. The extras round out a genuinely finished tool: view counters, timestamped share links, a shuffle button, restrictable uploads, Discord notifications for new videos, an RSS feed of the public feed, mobile support, and LDAP for multi-user setups. No storage limits, no watermarks, no platform deciding what stays up. GPL-licensed.
