Open Source Media Server Infrastructure

2026-01 — present

Deployed and configured a self-hosted entertainment platform by integrating existing open-source media services and orchestrating them with Docker Compose on Linux. This project demonstrates a pragmatic approach to solving real-world problems by leveraging mature open-source systems instead of reinventing functionality.

  • Evaluated, selected, and integrated open-source media services using Docker Compose to rapidly assemble a reliable, subscription-free streaming platform.
  • Orchestrated service networking, storage, and automation to deliver a seamless media ingestion and streaming workflow with minimal maintenance.
  • Operated and secured the Linux host via SSH, applying system hardening, encrypted access, and monitoring to ensure stable, long-running operation.
