Is there a Docker image for StreamStash today?

Not yet. StreamStash currently runs as a native Windows desktop application. Docker support is on the roadmap but ships after a native Linux build, since the container image is built on top of the Linux runtime.

What is the planned order for non-Windows platforms?

macOS first, since the codebase is Python and a chunk of the platform-specific work is already done. Native Linux after that. Docker images for Synology, QNAP, and Unraid follow native Linux.

Will existing licences include Docker and Linux builds when they ship?

Yes. Licences include the upgrade path. If you buy a Personal or Power licence today, the macOS, native Linux, and Docker builds are included when they release.

Can I run StreamStash on a NAS today?

The host application is Windows-only at the moment, so a NAS that runs Windows (some QNAP models, some custom builds) can run it directly. Native NAS support via Docker on Synology, QNAP, and Unraid is planned after the native Linux release. For remote access to your existing Windows StreamStash machine, Tailscale is the recommended path today.

Docker & NAS

Docker & NAS Setup

Docker, NAS, and headless Linux builds are on the roadmap for always-on archiving. The public launch build is Windows only.

Coming Soon: Docker and headless Linux support are in active development. StreamStash currently runs on Windows only, and this page will be updated when those builds are ready.

Current Availability

Today, StreamStash runs as a Windows desktop app with a local web UI, system tray integration, bundled helper tools, and local storage. You do not need to run Python or maintain a server to use the current release.

Planned Targets

Target	Status	Planned Use
Docker	Coming soon	Run StreamStash as an always-on container
Synology / QNAP	Coming soon	Archive directly to NAS storage
Unraid	Coming soon	Run alongside existing media and backup services
Linux server	Coming soon	Headless monitoring with browser-based access

What To Use Now

If you want an always-on archive today, install StreamStash on a Windows machine and set your recordings directory to a large local drive, external drive, or mounted network share. Remote access can be handled safely with Tailscale while Docker/NAS builds are being prepared.

Tip: See the Remote Access guide if you want to check your Windows StreamStash dashboard from another device without exposing it to the public internet.
