Mikochi

I've created Mikochi (https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi) for myself. It's a file manager for your personal server / NAS, that also allows you to stream files to VLC/MPV. Before creating Mikochi, I used to access my collection of movies through Jellyfin. Jellyfin has a really nice UI and does a ton of things like adding metadata, but I didn't use those things. I also didn't use their in-browser video player because it didn't work with H265. In addition to that, I wanted to easily manage the files without having to switch to sftp. Mikochi lets me easily create, delete, rename, download, and upload files (or whole directories). As a bonus, it only requires 26MB of RAM to run on my server.

As I got tired of fighting with Jellyfin and SFTP for my media server, I decided to write a small web application that allows me to browse, manage, download and stream the files on my web server. It comes as a single-page application with a Preact frontend and a Go/Gin backend. Creating this allowed me to get back into full-stack development, which was a bit tougher than expected after having taken a multi-year break from touching any frontend code. You'll find the source code, binary releases and installation instructions on GitHub: https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi The official Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/zer0tonin/mikochi/g... And the helm chart: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/zer0tonin/mikochi I also did a write-up about the project on my blog: https://alicegg.tech/2023/06/09/mikochi.html
