PhotoPrism organizes photos and videos in a privacy-oriented library that can run on your own server or in the cloud. It provides automatic labels, face recognition, metadata handling, and detailed filters for properties such as location, color, resolution, and quality, with PWA and WebDAV access. The community edition is commonly deployed with Docker, while some additional features require membership.

Navidrome serves a personal music collection through a responsive web player and compatible mobile clients. It supports large libraries and multiple users with separate play counts, playlists, and favorites, while monitoring files and metadata for changes. Binaries are available for macOS, Linux, Windows, Docker, and Raspberry Pi; the project recommends tagged releases rather than a potentially unstable development branch.

MeTube turns yt-dlp into a self-hosted browser interface for downloading videos, audio, captions, thumbnails, playlists, and channel content. It can also watch subscribed channels or playlists and automatically queue newly discovered items. The project is commonly deployed with Docker and suits users who want centralized control over storage paths, naming rules, queues, and yt-dlp options.

Piped is an alternative YouTube frontend that avoids connections to Google servers and can be used through a public instance or a self-hosted deployment. It supports video and audio-only playback, accounts, feeds, playlists, 4K, PWA installation, and SponsorBlock integration, while storing preferences locally for viewers who want less tracking and a lighter interface.
