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.

I Built a Python script that uses a local Ollama LLM to automatically find and add movies to Radarr.

It picks random films from your library, asks Ollama for similar suggestions based on theme and atmosphere, validates against OMDb, scores with plot embeddings, then adds the top results to Radarr automatically.

Examples:

  • Whiplash → La La Land, Birdman, All That Jazz
  • The Thing → In the Mouth of Madness, It Follows, The Descent
  • In Bruges → Seven Psychopaths, Dead Man's Shoes

Features:

  • 100% local, no external AI API
  • --auto mode for daily cron/Task Scheduler
  • --genre "Horror" for themed movie nights
  • Persistent blacklist, configurable quality profile
  • Works on Windows, Linux, Mac

Lol. For someone who says they expect other people to learn something, you're a bit short in supply. I mean this would be an opportunity for someone (me) to learn something. But a down-vote won't do it. And lessons on what not to do (discuss 2.5h, expect it to think) don't lead anywhere either. I'd need to know what to do in my situation. Or where to find such information?!

Or was it because I said I value efficiency and for some reason you're team bloat? I seriously don't get it.
