Show HN: VibeNVR – Modern, self-hosted NVR

Hi HN!

I've built VibeNVR, a self-hosted Network Video Recorder system focused on privacy, ease of deployment, and modern architecture.

*Why another NVR?* Most solutions are either enterprise-grade (complex, expensive) or hobbyist projects (lacking polish/security). I wanted something production-ready that deploys in minutes.

*Stack:* - Backend: Python (FastAPI + OpenCV + FFmpeg) - Frontend: React + Vite - Database: PostgreSQL - Deployment: Docker Compose

*Features:* - Motion detection with smart recording - Hardware acceleration (NVIDIA/Intel/AMD) - JWT-secured API & media - Reverse proxy ready (Nginx/Traefik) - Event timeline with filters - Mobile-responsive UI

*Security approach:* All internal services bind to localhost only. Media files require JWT auth. Designed to sit behind a reverse proxy for public access.

*Current state:* v1.17.1, MIT licensed, ~70 GitHub stars. Beta status but stable for production use.

Built it initially for my home lab, now using it daily with 6 cameras. Works great on Proxmox.

Happy to answer questions about architecture, deployment, or future plans!
