Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I download all my content to my laptop/phone and then just run a server from there, either using jellyfin, vlc, or casting software to my firestick.
But since it's a month long, it's a decent amount of content. I mean, you're already planning on buying ram so you could spin up a virtual server for like 15 bucks or less and just use that for a month.
Also since you're bringing this pc, it doesn't have to be crazy. I'd just use Windows or any OS you have and serve my content on the network using Jellyfin or VLC. Since it's jellyfin you can use their clients and avoid transcending, and should be set on a mini pc.
Do you even need to run the server locally? I’m still working on transitioning to Jellyfin but Plex would let you download media to watch offline. Just natively in the app, no need to install the server on the vacation device.
Good point. I have used the Fladder app to download content!
