I'm the maintainer of Arcadeia, an open-source media library you run on your own server.
Its main feature is dynamic thumbnails: videos preview key moments automatically while you browse, so you can recognize a clip without opening each file. It also supports search, favorites, uploads, network storage and browser playback with transcoding.
Demo: https://demo.arcadeia.org Setup: https://www.arcadeia.org/docs/getting-started.html Source: https://github.com/travelonium/arcadeia
It's licensed under AGPL-3.0 and intended for local or trusted network use. It doesn't include built-in authentication for public deployment.
I'd appreciate feedback on two things: do the animated thumbnails help you find clips, and where does the installation guide get in your way?

Literally just built this with claude this week to handle all outputs of my GPU generating videos and images

Been a while since I've seen an apache configuration. Curious about this part though:

    ErrorLog /proc/1/fd/2
    CustomLog /proc/1/fd/1 extended

What's that for?

    # ls -l /proc/1/fd/{1,2}
    lrwx------ 1 root root 64 /proc/1/fd/1 -> /dev/null
    lrwx------ 1 root root 64 /proc/1/fd/2 -> /dev/null
