Your private media library and records, with receipts: search, recordings, and a verifiable ledger.
Longwire is a whole-home media server from Future Maven: free over-the-air television recorded from an HDHomeRun tuner, radio through an RTL-SDR dongle, your own films, music and photos on every screen in the house, recordings published to every TV over DLNA, guests on their phones from a QR code. It runs as a service on a Windows PC, a Linux box or a Raspberry Pi and is used from a browser.
This repository holds the releases only. Take the newest one from the Releases page:
| You have | Take |
|---|---|
| Windows 10 or 11 | Longwire-Setup-<version>.exe — the installer (service, firewall rule, Start menu). Longwire-Portable.zip runs from a folder without installing. |
| Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Raspberry Pi OS | longwire_<version>_amd64.deb, or _arm64.deb on a Raspberry Pi or ARM box: sudo apt install ./longwire_<version>_amd64.deb |
| Any other Linux with systemd | curl -fsSL https://github.com/longwiremedia/releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bash, or the Longwire-linux-*.tar.xz by hand |
| Docker | docker run -d --name longwire -p 8420:8420 -v longwire-data:/data ghcr.io/trorie/longwire |
Then open http://<that machine>:8420 from any device on your network. The user guide is inside the
app at /help.
The app checks this page once a day and shows a badge when a newer version is here; nothing downloads or installs by itself.
