🎬 Songs2VID

Payment-free, self-hosted software that turns cover art and audio into YouTube videos (FFmpeg encoding + BullMQ jobs). Every deployment has full entitlements — there are no plans, credits, purchases, subscriptions, paywalls, or Stripe.

Sign in with Google, open the dashboard, and create videos. Settings cover account, YouTube connection, and API keys only.

Songs2VID Dashboard

🚀 Quick start (Docker)

Published image: atakanozban/songs2vid:latest

  1. Clone this repo (or copy docker-compose.yml + .env.example).
  2. Copy .env.example to .env and set at least:
    • NEXTAUTH_SECRET
    • GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
    • GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
  3. In Google Cloud Console, enable YouTube Data API v3 and add an OAuth redirect URI:
    • Local: http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google
    • Production: https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/auth/callback/google
  4. Start the stack (web + worker + Postgres + Redis):
docker compose up -d

Compose uses the published image by default (atakanozban/songs2vid:latest) and can also build from this repo (docker compose up -d --build).

Open http://localhost:3000 → sign in → dashboard.

No Stripe keys, billing env vars, or edition flags are required. Watermarks are optional; OSS does not force a free-tier SaaS badge paywall.

Features

  • 📦 Batch: one cover (or per-track covers) + many audio files → YouTube uploads
  • 🖼️ Classic letterbox and art-track layouts (blur backgrounds, typography, fine-tuning)
  • 💧 Custom watermarks (badge, text, or logo) and curated or uploaded fonts
  • ▶️ YouTube playlists, privacy, tags, resolution, categories
  • 🔌 REST API for automation (keys under Dashboard → Settings → API key)
  • 🤖 n8n community node n8n-nodes-songs2vid + optional webhookUrl callbacks
  • 🔓 Always-on self-hosted entitlements (no quota paywall)
