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.

Jellyfin crashes when living next to Plex in Docker, something about grabbing the same transcoder or something - I forget I’m pretty removed now.

But if I can’t run in parallel, I can’t eventually make the switch, since I can’t get started. And it’s not a great time to pick up a second box just for testing.

I know telling you that "You should have done this" isn't helpful today, but super recommend Proxmox in the future. I have had containers running Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby all on the same physical host by utilizing LXCs. Migration could be rough, but overall it's not as complicated as it sounds.

Proxmox sounds like VMs, which is a hard no for me since that’s why I went to Docker in the first place, to get away from the overhead of VMs. Am I misunderstanding?
