Vide0 - The Personal Video Upload Server

Application that allows uploading videos from trusted sources and allows sharing links to them.

You can host this on your personal NAS and use it to upload videos and then share them with friends.

Development with Cursor

1. Make sure you have Python 3.11+ and pip installed on your system.
2. Open this project in Cursor.
3. Cursor should automatically detect the Python environment. If not, set the Python interpreter to your system Python (or a virtualenv).
4. To install dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. To run the FastAPI app locally (without Docker):

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Using the Upload Client

1. Install the required package:

pip install requests

2. Run the upload client:

python upload_client.py http://localhost:8000 /path/to/your/video.mp4

Replace /path/to/your/video.mp4 with your video file path.

This will split the file, upload all chunks, and complete the upload process.

Running Docker

1. Clear and re-build container

docker rm -f video-server && docker build -t video-server . 

2. run container

docker run -d \
-p 8000:8000 \
-v /Users/lucianonea/my_videos:/nas/videos \
--name video-server \
video-server

Managing Keys

Just generate a key

python upload_client.py generate-key myuser

Generate and upload key to server

python upload_client.py generate-key myuser --upload --server-url http://localhost:8000

Upload a video

python upload_client.py upload http://localhost:8000 /path/to/video.mp4 myuser
