hotheadhacker··on Seedbox-Lite – self-hosted torrent streaming with a Netflix-style interface
Hi HN,

I built Seedbox-Lite, a minimal self-hosted torrent streaming app. The idea was simple: I wanted something lighter than a full seedbox, but with a clean UI that feels like Netflix. You drop it on a server, point it at torrents, and stream instantly in the browser.

A few things it does: • Streams video directly from torrents without waiting for the full download • Works in any browser, mobile included • Simple Docker setup (one command and you’re running) • Password protection so you don’t expose everything by accident • Lightweight — no heavy dependencies or complex configs

Repo: https://github.com/hotheadhacker/seedbox-lite

I’d love feedback on what’s rough, what’s missing, or what would make it useful for more people.

It's like you're making YouTube responsible for any leaked movies? It's always the user who does it. Plex is just a platform.
