So for the past year or so I have been working a couple of hours a week on my site, Animekyun.com. I have developed it from the ground up using Laravel. We used to run on Joomla, but I was forced to take it down after some years. I eventually got the idea to completely rebuild the site after a 2 year hiatus. However, it seems that I won't be able to restore the site to its former glory due to time constraints. On top of that, I can't keep covering the server costs by myself. (I'm currently running it off of my github student credit on digital ocean, $10 a month doesn't seem like much, but for a student it is :D )
I don't want to let the site die, especially not the code I have been working on. That's why I'm here.
I'm looking for advice. I have put a shitload of blood sweat and tears into this project and I would hate to see the site die once more. So I sort of want to get the word out there to, perhaps, opensource the project. Maybe people want to run their own install of Animekyun on their server. I just don't want to shelve the project since it's so much fun to work on it. The site is still very much in development, but I have so much more planned. That's why I don't want to give it up. Curious if people are interested in the project. What do?
I have some neat features built in:
There is probably a bit more but that's the main gist. You can obviously take the site for a spin on the URL I provided above. There's also a lot more features i'm planning to build in such as DDL and show tracking like trakt.tv does.
Here are some screenshots of some admin tools (since you can't access those).

I have some neat features built in:
- Create shows and episodes, ala netflix
- Integration with MyAnimeList.net
- Automatically download torrents to server from RSS Feed
- Automatically create episode on release (also adds torrents to the episode)
- Automatically generate screenshots from torrent without downloading everything (saves shitload of bandwith)
- Set specific time to generate screenshot
- Screenshot rotator
- Automatically post to twitter
- Genre and seasonal tagging
