What Garlic-Hub actually does
Garlic-Hub is a self-hosted digital signage platform used to manage screens and content centrally. It supports standard SMIL playlists and built-in scheduling to control what media appears on remote displays. You can deploy it to coordinate various types of signage hardware from a single web interface.
Best fit: It suits teams or individuals who need an open-source tool to schedule and push media playlists to digital displays across a local network or the internet.
Worth knowing: With a moderate level of project activity and a niche focus, you may encounter edge cases or lack community documentation when troubleshooting hardware compatibility. The AGPL-3.0 licence also means you must release your modified source code if you offer it as a hosted service to third parties.
Deployment notes
Because it is distributed as a Docker container, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for media and configuration data, alongside a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
