Why COMA

Self-hosted media server software built for private streaming.

COMA Media Server is designed for people who want a private cloud streaming setup without handing their home media library to a hosted service. Run your own server, control remote access, and keep account, playback, sharing, and addon management in one place.

Self-hosted streaming

Host movies, TV shows, music, and family media on your own Windows or Linux server while keeping control of storage and access.

Remote access anywhere

Stream outside your home through secure remote routes, including relay-ready playback for networks where direct access is difficult.

Direct play and transcoding

Prefer direct play for quality and efficiency, with transcoding support for devices, bandwidth limits, subtitles, and unsupported formats.

Shared family libraries

Invite family accounts, manage shared libraries, and control playback or download access without exposing your whole server.

Signed addons

Extend COMA with signed addons that include package hashes, permissions, compatibility checks, and safer installation metadata.

Private cloud streaming

Use the COMA cloud account portal for connected servers, playback access, library sharing, and account security while your media stays self-hosted.

Supported platforms

Run COMA at home, stream from the web, and grow into more devices.

Windows

Install COMA Media Server on Windows for a home media server with library scanning, local management, and remote playback.

Linux

Use the Linux installer for server-style deployments, always-on libraries, remote streaming, and private web playback.

Docker

Run COMA with Docker using the Compose ZIP package managed alongside the Windows and Linux downloads.

Web playback

Watch through the COMA web player with direct play where possible and transcoding paths for compatibility.

Mobile roadmap

Mobile-friendly web playback is supported today, with dedicated mobile app experiences on the product roadmap.

How checkout works

The purchase path keeps the public experience simple: choose the plan you need, sign in or create an account, complete checkout, download COMA, and follow the installer steps.

FAQ

Self-hosted media server FAQ

What is a self-hosted media server?

A self-hosted media server is software you run on your own computer, NAS, or server to organise and stream your personal media library. COMA Media Server is built for private streaming, remote access, web playback, and family sharing.

Is COMA free?

COMA includes a free account path for basic use. Paid plans add higher household limits, more server options, remote access features, signed addons, and support options depending on the plan.

Does COMA support remote streaming?

Yes. COMA is designed for remote streaming outside the home through configured public URLs, tunnel-style routes, relay-capable playback, and secure account-based access.

Can I stream outside my home?

Yes, when remote access is configured correctly. COMA can use direct routes where available and relay-style routes where home networks, carrier-grade NAT, or router limits make direct access difficult.

Is COMA a Plex alternative?

Yes. COMA is a self-hosted Plex alternative for users who want private cloud streaming, shared family libraries, web playback, signed addons, and direct control over their own home media server.

Does COMA support transcoding?

COMA supports direct play where possible and uses transcoding when a device, browser, subtitle format, bandwidth limit, or media codec needs a compatible playback stream.

Can I share libraries with family?

Yes. COMA includes shared family library workflows so server owners can invite users, control permissions, and manage playback or download access from the account portal.

When can I use COMA after checkout?

After checkout is complete, sign in to your COMA account, download the installer, and follow the setup guide for your server.
