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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Why would anyone use Plex over jellyfin anyway? The writing was on the wall years ago.

Plex still has the most fully-featured music streaming app (Plexamp)

There are plenty of good Jellyfin players too. I‘m currently using Discrete and I‘m quite happy with it.

Unfortunately it looks like that one is for Apple devices, whereas I use Linux on desktop and Android on mobile.

There's some, but I haven't seen any that have the main features Plex and Plexamp have:

  • Cross-fading when playing random tracks, but gapless playback when playing an album in order
  • Analysis of the music using a local neutral network, such that you can tell it to play play "similar" sounding songs to the current one
  • Automatic playlists - liked songs, decades, etc
  • Downloads for offline playback
  • Multiple libraries, for example I keep regular music separate from DJ mixes
  • Equalizer with presets for common headphones

And probably other things I'm forgetting.

Navidrome for service. Dsub2000 on android and feishin on desktop.

There, all your needs covered.

As a plus, dsub also does podcasts and audio books.
