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.

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

Admittedly this was 4 years ago, but the lack of documentation was frustrating. I don't know if remote streaming or transcoding was even a thing back then, but I could find little to nothing about much of anything. Now I just don't have the time. I switched to Stremio + plugins for TV and movies, and I'm content to keep using Plexamp for my vinyl rips until it stops working.

Jellyfin has definitely gotten leaps and bounds better in the last 4 years.
