Mediagoblin
Media publishing platform that anyone can run (alternative to Flickr, YouTube, SoundCloud).
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Mediagoblin actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Mediagoblin is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at git.savannah.gnu.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Mediagoblin actually does
Mediagoblin is a self-hosted media publishing platform designed to handle various forms of user-uploaded content such as images, audio, and video. It serves as an independent alternative to centralised commercial services like YouTube, Flickr, or SoundCloud, allowing you to host and share your own media library. The software is written in Python and licensed under the AGPL-3.0.
Best fit: This platform is suitable for individuals or organisations wanting to run their own media hosting service without relying on third-party commercial platforms.
Worth knowing: The repository currently shows no recent commits or tagged releases, suggesting that development activity may be low or dormant. You should carefully evaluate its maturity and security posture before deploying it to production.
Deployment notes
As a Python application, it typically requires a WSGI or ASGI server, a reverse proxy like Nginx to handle TLS termination, and a persistent database backend for metadata storage.
