VibeNVR: Open-Source Self-Hosted NVR with REST API, Homepage Widget & Public Roadmap

I've been building VibeNVR — a free, open-source, self-hosted NVR that runs 100% locally via Docker Compose. No cloud, no subscriptions, privacy-first.

What is VibeNVR?

VibeNVR is a modern Network Video Recorder designed for homelab and self-hosted enthusiasts. It exposes a full REST API, ships with a ready-made Homepage.dev widget to monitor cameras, events, storage, and uptime from your dashboard, and integrates cleanly into any HA-adjacent setup.

The public roadmap is now live!

Here's what's coming:

  • Advanced ONVIF: full PTZ control + audio back-channel
  • Dual-Stream Support: Main + Sub streams for bandwidth-optimized live grids
  • Privacy Masking: block sensitive areas in the video feed
  • AI/ML Motion Detection: smarter alerts
  • Timeline-based Playback: intuitive recording review
  • Multi-tenancy: manage multiple users/sites

New: MkDocs Documentation

The documentation has been moved to a full MkDocs site, making it easier to browse, search, and contribute.

Feedback and contributions are very welcome!
