Selfhosted

56958 readers

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.

So, two free options.

Both are not nearly as polished/finished as the Plex app on AppleTV

First time I’ve heard of Moonfin, but it looks really promising. iOS version works great, need to check tvOS version later this weekend! Thanks!

I've had little luck with Swiftfin. Last time I tried it, it wouldn't connect to my server by IP: port.

That happened to me related to needing http:// https:// before the ip, then it worked. Also added avahi mdns, to use hostname.local instead of ip
