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.

I finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Still trying to get hardware transcoding working. I think I have it set up, but it still wants to use the CPU. I'm thinking permissions but I ran out of time.

Fun project.

I think QSV is the new "easiest" way if you have an Intel CPU. Here are some docker compose values that might help:

    group_add:
      - "110"
      - "44"
    devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128

110 is render

44 is video

You can grep render /etc/group to find your values.

I found CPU accelerated transcoding to be as effective as using GPU acceleration for my small media server setup. Nvidia wasn't worth it for me.

Why the group add? Does JF default user not have access to dev dri?

Oh thanks! I didn't have the group_add.
