Hosting a custom video streamin site

Over a few years I’ve been developing a custom movie and TV show website for personal use. It’s cuck coded, as they say, so take that as you will, but if it helps Ive been programming before the before times.

I recently rigged up an automated system to prepare movies for the website with sub scraper, auto sub sync, subs encode, and such things and was thinking maybe someone might be interested in this project if i could make it easy to pull from github and setup on your own machine.

The problem is there are a lot of hardcoded file paths and other not best practice things to go through, the site depends on two seperate machines one to connect to the front end and another as a slave pc connected to a vpn “for reasons” which isnt great for sharing due to the extra steps setting up proxies and stuff.

So what do you think? Is it worth prepping and sharing or would this just be another vibe coded project nobody cares about?

If I’m to understand this correctly you want to share a site but it requires clients to connect with some VPN or related piece? I think this is more a “share what I did, and how you can” rather than making it available through a domain.

The slave pc is connected to the internet though a vpn to acquire movies. But while on the vpn I wouldnt be able to access the site. So the slave hold most of the movies and the master routes the traffic.

I know most people just use jellyfin or plex so i suppose this is just an excuse post something,

I think I misunderstood what you were asking initially, sorry. No i can share the site if i wanted with friends, family, whatever. I was wondering if it was worth sharing the code for other people to set up there own version of it?
