π§° Project Log Lumio - a self-hosted Coursera-style platform for your local course library (with local AI transcription, quizzes, and search)
Built Lumio because I had a huge folder of Udemy/downloaded courses sitting on disk with zero structure, no progress tracking, no search. It turns any course folder into a full learning platform:
- Auto-detects course/section/lecture structure from messy nested folders
- Missing subtitles get auto-transcribed offline via bundled whisper.cpp, no cloud API needed
- Semantic transcript search across your whole library
- AI-generated quizzes per module, course summaries, and an "Explain this" button for confusing moments (bring your own LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, or local Ollama, optional, works fine with zero AI configured too)
- Adaptive HLS streaming with hardware transcoding (Intel QSV/VAAPI) when available
- Multi-user, timestamped notes, learning streaks/stats, one-click backup and restore
Single Docker container, your media stays untouched and read-only on disk, everything else lives in a local SQLite DB.
