Streama is a self-hosted video streaming server with a Netflix-like web interface. Upload your movies, TV shows and other videos to the appliance and stream them in the browser with a modern player, rich metadata and artwork, multiple user accounts, watch progress and recommendations. It is completely free software.

Deployed from the NetActuate marketplace it boots ready on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from the official upstream Streama release, running on a bundled Java 8 runtime with an embedded database, so there are no external services to set up. There is no license and no key. On first boot a default administrator account is created (username admin, password admin); change it immediately after your first login. The web UI and REST API are served on port 8080.

Upstream project: Streama (https://github.com/streamaserver/streama), an independent open source project released under the MIT license by Antonia Hulha and the Streama contributors. Streama is not affiliated with or endorsed by NetActuate; NetActuate packages the unmodified upstream 1.11.0 release jar.
