Chevereto is a self-hosted multipurpose multi-user, full-featured media sharing solution. It can be used to create a myriad of applications or to empower existing systems, all around the concept of users sharing media content.

In a nutshell, Chevereto is:

• 👨🏾‍💻 An indie developed mature project
• ❤ A large Community
• 🔌 Extensible, configurable and pluggable
• ⚖ Open Source Software

Technical Overview

This is the repository for the Chevereto V5 application project skeleton, which orchestrates the whole thing. In Chevereto, API provides all the I/O for user instructions which are driven by the application. The administration for the user application content is provided by API Admin.

On the Peafowl and Dashboard are the default web clients for API and API Admin. The concept of "default" is very important here because Chevereto is built to be plugged to any given interface, is not limited to just the defaults, and hopefully it will get many cool user interfaces.

Chevereto also provides an OAuth2 server supporting third-party login providers, which handles account access, sessions and credentials. That way, Chevereto API-client users connect to the same login experience regardless of the user interface being used. In this context, the given user interface appears to the user as an application authorized to the account.
