First a disclaimer. I stink at frontend programming, if you think what I'm doing is wrong, submit a pull request with how to make it better. I'm a backend developer by trade, this is the first real web app that I'm writing, and I haven't used these technologies for anything substantial before. I'm doing this at least 50% to learn.

So what is this? Glad you asked!

Port Roayl is intended to solve a, possibly unique, problem I have with my media library. I have a server that I pay a hosting provider for that runs Plex Media Server and I use that to serve all of my media. It has limited storage (about 2 TB) and when that runs out, I need to either delete media or move it somewhere else manually. My goal is to create a fleet of "cold storage" servers (basically Raspberry PIs hooked up to banks of hard dries) and then use Port Royal as a kind of distributed media manager.

Still very much in the "playing around" phase, but in case this is even remotely useful to anyone else I thought I would throw it up on GitHub as I continue to work on it. Expect development to be slow and come in fits and starts, this is not my full time job.

Scala + Coffeescript

Here's a laundry list of thing's I've been playing with:

• React for the UI
• Gulp and Browserify to build the web frontend
• Play for the backend/API
