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.

If I was starting new today I'd go for Jellyfin but my family is all set up for Plex now and I'm not going through that painful process again :D

Completely reasonable. And ud probably use Plex still if I didnt loose my watch status.

[–] fascicle@leminal.space 1 points 51 seconds ago

there are tools to keep jellyfin and plex watch status in sync, which is nice if you use both

Yep. I have a lifetime sub to Plex anyway, and I don't want to deal with the pain of giving my in-laws access
