Bun and Elysia backend with torrent streaming is a fresh take on the Jellyfin clone.

Strengths
  • •Modern stack (Bun, Elysia, Drizzle) offers potential performance gains over Node/Express alternatives.
  • •Integrated torrent client (rqbit) allows direct streaming without full downloads.
  • •Docker-ready deployment simplifies setup for non-developer self-hosters.
Weaknesses
  • •Crowded market dominated by Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby with mature ecosystems.
  • •Addon support and metadata fetching are standard features, not unique differentiators.

Post Description

I’ve been working on Duckflix, a self-hosted media streaming platform.

It started as a full-stack project to combine a clean streaming UI with a Bun/Elysia backend, FFmpeg processing, SQLite, Docker deployment, and addon support.
