Welcome to GigHive!
Upload, organize, and stream your media.
- If youโre a musician: Use Gighive as a library for your bandโs sessions (audio and video) and let your fans upload footage from every angle of the gig.
- If youโre a wedding photographer/videographer: Have guests upload their audio and video during the event, incorporate it into a compilation, then spin down the instance when youโre done to save money.
- If youโre a media librarian or have a preexisting cache of files: Use the Admin Utilities to import your videos and build your own historical Gighive.
-
If you just need a simple self-hosted web server: Drop PHP files or static content into the default web root and off you go.
- Gighive is open source โ a self-hosted media library with a searchable database, an upload utility, and an iPhone app.
