Deploy slskd in one click installation.
Open-source web-based client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer music and file-sharing network.
What you can build with slskd
slskd is a modern, open-source client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network, delivered entirely through a responsive web interface. It replaces the legacy desktop Soulseek clients with a self-hosted server you can reach from any browser, letting you search for and download music, lossless files, and other content shared by millions of Soulseek users around the clock — even when your desktop is off.
Self-hosting slskd on a VPS means your downloads run continuously in the background without tying up a local machine. All settings are manageable through the built-in web UI or a remote YAML configuration file, giving you full control over shared directories, download queues, transfer limits, and user permissions.
Key features of slskd

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
