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'll probably get the lifetime pass after seeing how cumbersome setting up jellyfin is.

Installing jellyfin is as easy as setting up any self hosted thing though... Just use docker compose if you want simplicity.

And secure remote access for me and my friends and family?

Wireguard is also very simple to setup. This would allow you to share other services you host in the future in a secure way as well.

Your mom's Tizen TV doesn't have a Wireguard or Tailscale client, so you're going to be the person configuring her router, or setting up a Pi or something, as well as now being the designated tech support.

It takes fairly little effort to set up Jellyfin. I think there's scripts these days that set up the entire arr stack for you in a matter of minutes.

I have jellyfin setup. What do you mean the entire arr stack?

[–] ginza@lemmy.ml 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc

Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You’re using Usenet for downloading Linux ISOs and you haven’t set up the *arrs? What on earth lol

I finished setting it up and boy this is life changing! I will have to add a few more TB to my storage!
