Welcome to GigHive!

Upload, organize, and stream your media.

If you're a musician: Use GigHive as a library for your band's sessions (audio and video) and let your fans upload footage from every angle of the gig.
If you're 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 you're done to save money.
If you're 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 — a self-hosted media library with a searchable database, an upload utility, and an iPhone app.
