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.

Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

I have a very cheap ($11/yr) us-based vps through racknerd I got via low end box. I've got 12 users but only 5 really active ones and I've never come close to hitting the 1tb transfer. I serve several services through that one vps (all just reverse proxy to my homelab).

I did just pick up another u.s. based vps through low end box the other day- $12/yr and unmetered Gbps. 1 CPU only, but a reverse proxy doesn't need a lot of compute. :)

And just looked them up, saw their $2 a month VPS has a 3TB bandwidth limit and I signed up immediately lol.

Thank you!

  • and they have Los Angeles, which is perfect

Thank you! I haven't heard of racknerd/low end box, I'll have to check them out. Yeah I'm not worried about the CPU just the bandwidth haha.

I have 30 people on my Plex share and never had to care about bandwidth so I'm a bit worried for my end
