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.

Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Probably not the only one, but configuring your server for outside access is way easier with Plex.

Since I mainly use these services for streaming my music collection (long time cd collector), I declare that Plexamp is simply superior to jellyfin. It is really awesome and feature-rich and jellyfin does not even come close to Plexamp regarding music in my opinion.

Have you checked out the Finamp app? It's to Jellyfin what Plexamp is to Plex. It's much better for music that Jellyfin proper.

Yeah, it‘s okay. But PlexAmp just plays in a different league.

Have you checked out the Finamp app?

Yes, and it’s nowhere close to PlexAmp. Have you ever used PlexAmp?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea, I come from Plex. Why do you ask?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Then you’d know that FinAmp doesn’t have a quarter of the features of Plexamp.
