TubePress is a free, self-hosted CMS for building adult tube sites. It handles mass video import (CSV/JSON), automatic CTR-based ranking, daily backups, built-in SEO, themes, plugins and 30 languages. It runs on any standard Linux server with PHP and MySQL.

The CMS is free — no license key, no seat limits, no paid pro core. Optional paid services (the video Catalogue, AI credits, and premium themes and plugins) fund the project, but you never need them to run a full site, and you start with 150 free credits.

CTR (click-through-rate) ranking automatically promotes your best-performing content. The algorithm scores each video on views, impressions and time decay: ctr_score = (views / (impressions + 50)) * EXP(-0.01 * days_age). Scores recalculate every 10 minutes. No manual curation needed.

The free CMS to launch your own adult tube site.

Q: How long does it take to install?

Under 5 minutes. Download the ZIP, upload it to your server, and run the web-based installer. The 5-step wizard handles database setup, the admin account and site configuration. No command line required.

Q: How many videos can it handle?

TubePress is built to handle 500,000+ videos. The mass importer streams CSV and JSON files of any size in resumable batches, with duplicate detection and batch category/tag assignment and no fixed row limit. The admin stays responsive even with very large libraries.

Q: Can it host photo galleries?

Yes. Alongside videos, TubePress includes a full photo gallery (album) content type with its own categories, tags, performers and channels, a masonry layout and a zoom and slideshow lightbox, plus likes, comments, favorites and reporting. You can also import ready-made photo galleries from the built-in catalogue.

Q: What are the server requirements?

TubePress requires PHP 8.2+ (with PDO, mbstring, json, curl, fileinfo extensions), MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.4+, and Apache with mod_rewrite or Nginx. It runs on any standard Linux hosting. No ionCube, no Composer, no Node.js required.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is TubePress?

A free, self-hosted CMS for building adult tube sites: mass video import, automatic CTR ranking, daily backups, built-in SEO, themes, plugins and 30+ languages. Runs on any standard Linux server with PHP and MySQL.

Is it really free?

The CMS is free — no license key, no seat limits, no paid “pro” core. Optional paid services (Catalogue, AI credits, premium themes/plugins) fund the project; you never need them to run a full site, and you start with 150 free credits.

How does it compare to KVS?

KVS is a powerful but paid script ($99–$499 per domain) with an ionCube-encoded core and updates that renew yearly. The TubePress CMS is free, runs on unlimited sites you own, ships full editable source with no ionCube, and adds a built-in licensed video Catalogue.

Is there a free alternative to KVS?

Yes — TubePress is a free, self-hosted CMS built specifically for adult tube sites, and a direct KVS alternative. There is no license fee and no ionCube: you get full editable PHP source, mass import, CTR ranking, AI title & translation and 30+ languages, on unlimited sites you own.

What is the best free CMS for an adult tube site?

For a free, self-hosted option, TubePress is the most complete choice built for adult tube sites: mass import, automatic CTR ranking, AI tools, a 1M+ licensed Catalogue and 30+ languages, with no ionCube. Mainstream free video platforms (ClipBucket, PeerTube, MediaCMS) are not built for adult content, and the established adult scripts (KVS, MechBunny, Buran) are paid and ship encoded code.

How long does it take to install?

Under 5 minutes. Download the ZIP, upload it, and run the web installer — a 5-step wizard handles the database, admin account and settings. No command line required.

How many videos can it handle?

Built for 500,000+ videos. The mass importer streams CSV/JSON files of any size in resumable batches with duplicate detection — no fixed row limit — and the admin stays responsive on very large libraries.

Can it host photo galleries too?

Yes. Alongside videos, TubePress has a full photo-gallery (album) content type with its own categories, tags, performers and channels, a masonry layout and a zoom & slideshow lightbox, plus likes, comments, favorites and reports — the same engagement features as your videos. You can also import ready-made galleries from the built-in catalogue.

What is CTR ranking?

It automatically promotes your best content based on views, impressions and time decay: ctr_score = (views / (impressions + 50)) * EXP(-0.01 * days_age). Scores recalculate every 10 minutes.

What are the server requirements?

Built for PHP 8.4, runs on PHP 8.2+ (PDO, mbstring, json, curl, fileinfo), MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.4+, and Apache or Nginx. No ionCube, no Composer, no Node.js.
