Hi everyone. I’m pretty anxious about this, but for years I felt we should have been an open source product, but for reasons it didn’t happen. After a lot of talking, research and changing our code, today we’re releasing our core under AGPL-3.0-or-later.

https://github.com/maveio/core

We build video infrastructure for websites, already used by a lot of European organisations as hosted version. It includes the dashboard, video encoding pipeline, embeddable player, analytics, API, and self-hosting setup. The SaaS-specific parts, such as billing and payment processing for our managed service, aren’t included. You can run Core with Docker Compose and connect your own S3-compatible storage.

We’re doing this because we believe open source is essential to digital sovereignty. That’s a big topic here in Europe, but for us it comes down to something practical: organizations should be able to inspect, modify, and keep running the software they depend on, even if the company behind it changes direction or disappears. And potentially there are organisations outside of Europe that might be interested in this.

Mostly built with Elixir (Phoenix and Oban do the heavy lifting, they rock 🤘). This is a big step for us, and we have plenty to learn about maintaining a project in the open. Any feedback, tips/advice or questions are welcome!
