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 once again increasing the monthly price users must pay to stream their own media (if this is you, why haven't you purchased a lifetime pass yet?)

Better yet, why have you not migrated to Jellyfin. Why are you paying someone else to view your own stuff?

The hard part about Jellyfin is that it requires your own domain and some more self-hosting knowledge that a hobbyist might not have yet.

It's not a super hard transition, but it took me a few months on/off to learn the basics of hosting a website from my house.

I'm still trying to figure out headscale on a VPS so I can mask my home IP

Most people should be using a VPN and not exposing these things to the internet at large via proxies or port forwards.

Right, but if you're hosting Plex then you've likely shared it with friends/family. Jellyfin isn't as easy to share.
