EmbyStream
What it does
EmbyStream sits between Emby clients and storage backends.
- Web-first setup with local accounts, drafts, generated deployment artifacts, and admin logs
frontend,backend, anddualgateway modes- Disk, OpenList, DirectLink, WebDav, Google Drive, and StreamRelay backends
- Signed playback links, path rewrites, anti-hotlinking, and User-Agent filtering
For architecture details and full configuration semantics, use the docs linked below.
Quick start
Build the Web UI and start the local admin service:
Then open http://127.0.0.1:6888.
The Web Config Studio is now the recommended setup path. It can:
- create and manage local admin accounts
- edit config drafts in the browser
- generate
config.toml,nginx.conf,docker-compose.yaml,systemd.service, andpm2.config.cjs - inspect admin-only logs in the browser
If you set --tmdb-api-key, the login page uses TMDB trending backgrounds. Otherwise it falls back to Bing daily images.
Build and package
Build an embedded single-binary release locally:
The script builds web/dist, compiles the Rust binary, and writes artifacts under ./.build/binary/release/ or ./.build/binary/debug/.
Build the integrated Docker image locally:
By default the script writes Docker metadata and local image archives under .build/docker/.
For published artifacts, see:
- GitHub Releases
- Docker Hub - openpilipili/embystream
ghcr.io/pilipili-team/embystream

Use embystream --lang zh --help for Simplified Chinese CLI help and wizard prompts.
