Dangerously good at handling your music
Self-hosted streaming on hardware you own. No schema assumptions. Extendable with plugins.
Pipe Bomb runs on your hardware and streams to any browser. Nothing leaves your infrastructure. You run the server, you control the data, and the client gives you an experience indistinguishable from a first-class streaming app.
The plugin system defines everything the server knows about your library. Metadata schemas, external catalogs, identifiers, streaming behaviours - all determined by plugins. If you can write a plugin, you can make Pipe Bomb speak your catalog's language exactly.
Client
An experience worth using
Built to handle tens of thousands of tracks, Pipe Bomb is designed to grow with your library without compromising on the experience.
Add capabilities without forking
External catalogs, identifiers, metadata sources, streaming behaviors - everything the server knows is defined by plugins. Install community plugins or write your own. Pipe Bomb doesn't assume what your library should look like.
No hardcoded metadata fields
Plugins define what a track, album, artist, or playlist looks like. The platform adapts to your catalog, not the other way around.
Self-hosted doesn't mean worse
Virtualized lists, smooth transitions. The client is built to feel like a well-funded streaming product.
