MediaCMS
MediaCMS is a modern, fully featured open source video and media CMS. It is developed to meet the needs of modern web platforms for viewing and sharing media. It can be used to build a small to medium video and media portal within minutes.
It is built mostly using the modern stack Django + React and includes a REST API.
A demo is available at https://demo.mediacms.io

Example cases
-
Schools, education. Administrators and editors keep what content will be published, students are not distracted with advertisements and irrelevant content, plus they have the ability to select either to stream or download content.
-
Organization sensitive content. In cases where content is sensitive and cannot be uploaded to external sites.
-
Build a great community. MediaCMS can be customized (URLs, logos, fonts, aesthetics) so that you create a highly customized video portal for your community!
-
Personal portal. Organize, categorize and host your content the way you prefer.
Philosophy
We believe there's a need for quality open source web applications that can be used to build community portals and support collaboration.
We have three goals for MediaCMS: a) deliver all functionality one would expect from a modern system, b) allow for easy installation and maintenance, c) allow easy customization and addition of features.

Support and paid services
We provide custom installations, development of extra functionality, migration from existing systems, integrations with legacy systems, training and support. Contact us at info@mediacms.io for more information.
Hardware dependencies
For a small to medium installation, with a few hours of video uploaded daily, and a few hundreds of active daily users viewing content, 4GB Ram / 2-4 CPUs as minimum is ok. For a larger installation with many hours of video uploaded daily, consider adding more CPUs and more Ram.
In terms of disk space, think of what the needs will be. A general rule is to multiply by three the size of the expected uploaded videos (since the system keeps original versions, encoded versions plus HLS), so if you receive 1G of videos daily and maintain all of them, you should consider a 1T disk across a year (1G * 3 * 365).
Installation / Maintanance
There are two ways to run MediaCMS, through Docker Compose and through installing it on a server via an automation script that installs and configures all needed services. Find the related pages:
- Single Server page
- Docker Compose page
Configuration
Several options are available on cms/settings.py, most of the things that are allowed or should be disallowed are described there. It is advisable to override any of them by adding it to cms/local_settings.py. All configuration options will be documented gradually on the Configuration page.
Technology
This software uses the following list of awesome technologies: Python, Django, Django Rest Framework, Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, uWSGI, React, Fine Uploader, video.js, FFMPEG, Bento4
