Silo

Self-hosted media streaming, built on a modern stack.

Silo is an open-source media server with a Go backend and a React web UI. It handles direct play, remuxing, and hardware-accelerated transcoding, and offers a Jellyfin/Emby-compatible API for clients such as Findroid and Infuse, alongside first-party native apps for Apple and Android. Client coverage varies.

Why Silo

  • Modern infra — Go + PostgreSQL + Redis, with a documented Docker Compose deployment.
  • Plays your media — direct play, remux, and hardware-accelerated transcoding via FFmpeg.
  • Jellyfin-compatible — built-in compatibility layer, plus first-party native apps for Apple and Android.
  • Extensible — a public plugin SDK with protobuf contracts for metadata providers and more.
