I've created Mikochi (https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi) for myself. It's a file manager for your personal server / NAS, that also allows you to stream files to VLC/MPV.

Before creating Mikochi, I used to access my collection of movies through Jellyfin. Jellyfin has a really nice UI and does a ton of things like adding metadata, but I didn't use those things. I also didn't use their in-browser video player because it didn't work with H265. In addition to that, I wanted to easily manage the files without having to switch to sftp. Mikochi lets me easily create, delete, rename, download, and upload files (or whole directories).

As a bonus, it only requires 26MB of RAM to run on my server.
