Hi HN,

I built Seedbox-Lite, a minimal self-hosted torrent streaming app. The idea was simple: I wanted something lighter than a full seedbox, but with a clean UI that feels like Netflix. You drop it on a server, point it at torrents, and stream instantly in the browser.

A few things it does: • Streams video directly from torrents without waiting for the full download • Works in any browser, mobile included • Simple Docker setup (one command and you’re running) • Password protection so you don’t expose everything by accident • Lightweight — no heavy dependencies or complex configs

I’d love feedback on what’s rough, what’s missing, or what would make it useful for more people.
