Audioserve
A simple personal server to serve audio files from directories, primarily for audiobooks, with a focus on simplicity and minimalist design.
What is Audioserve?
Audioserve is a simple personal audio server that serves audio files directly from your local directories. It is designed primarily for audiobooks but works with any folder-structured audio collection, offering transcoding, shared playback positions, and a modern web client. It solves the problem of accessing and streaming a personal audio library from anywhere without relying on cloud services or complex metadata management.
Individuals who want to self-host their audiobook or audio collection for personal streaming, especially those who prefer directory-based organization over tag-based systems and value simplicity and control.
Developers choose Audioserve for its minimalist design, excellent performance with caching, built-in transcoding to save bandwidth, and the ability to sync playback across devices—all while being easy to deploy via Docker and fully open-source.
