+Two years ago, I created a video streaming server from scratch in Node; looking back, I realized that I must have had way too much free time.
+I wanted something that I could use to embed videos in websites and aggregate all of my public videos.
+In the end, I created a lightweight node application with an administration interface, API tokens, and the ability to stream videos.
+Now, I can embed videos in my blog like this:
+
+
+
+Although I could have accomplished the same thing with zero effort by using Youtube-- that's now how I roll.
+I wanted to get better at programming with Node, and I wanted a self-hostable lightweight open-source project.
+
+Let's take a quick look at the website I ended up building:
+
+
+
+The videos project's main page is a gallery that displays all of the videos on the same page with a search bar at the top for filtering.
+What is notable about this page is that all of the icons displayed are gifs generated by the backend using [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/).
+After you click on a video, it takes you to a separate page to watch the video or download it.
+Additionally, the video page lets you copy a streamable link to the video so you can embed it in a website or open it in VLC.
+
+The next notable feature of the website is the user management and privilege aspect of the system.
+Regular users can log into the website and watch non-listed videos.
+Additionally, administrators can manage other users and generate API tokens.
+API tokens get used to generate video share links to watch a non-listed video without log-into the website.
+
+
+
+There is also a page listed "System Controls."
+The system page enables admin users to update some environment variables like where the videos are located and the server's URL.
+The server URL gets used when generating share links for end-users to copy and share.
+The re-index button tells the system to scan for new videos and generate icons.
+
+
+
+Being able to download a full video is straightforward since you just serve the entire file.
+However, to stream a video, you have to send it to the client chunk by chunk, and which chunk gets downloaded gets determined by the end client-- enabling things like buffering and skipping forward.
+The following code snippet is the core node code that I ended up using to provide this functionality.
+The client sends a byte array indicating the range in which they want to download.
+The server then responds by reading that portion of the video file and sending it to the client.
+
+```javascript
+const parts = request.headers.range.replace(/bytes=/, "").split("-");
+const start = parseInt(parts[0], 10);
+const end = parts[1]
+ ? parseInt(parts[1], 10)
+ : fileSize-1;
+
+const chunksize = (end-start)+1;
+const file = fs.createReadStream(path, {start, end});
+const head =
+ {
+ 'Content-Range': `bytes ${start}-${end}/${fileSize}`,
+ 'Accept-Ranges': 'bytes',
+ 'Content-Length': chunksize,
+ 'Content-Type': 'video/mp4',
+ };
+result.writeHead(206, head);
+file.pipe(result);
+```
+
+Another fun tidbit from this project is that I just created a Docker script to run the project.
+The Docker container gets derived from a generic node container, and then I installed the ffmpeg and gifski packages-- enabling me to generate the video icons.
+
+```bash
+FROM node:buster-slim
+
+COPY package.json package.json
+
+RUN apt-get update && \
+ apt-get install ffmpeg -y && \
+ apt-get install wget -y && \
+ cd /root && \
+ wget https://github.com/jrtechs/static-storage/raw/master/gifski.deb && \
+ dpkg -i /root/gifski.deb && \
+ rm /root/gifski.deb
+
+RUN npm install
+
+EXPOSE 4000
+WORKDIR /src/
+CMD npm start
+```
+
+Although I don't use this project a lot, I maintain it since it is effortless to host and allows me to share videos without using a centralized service like YouTube. If you are interested in the project, check it out on [Github](https://github.com/jrtechs/HomeBrewPlex) and contribute by submitting issues and creating pull requests.
