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.

I'm looking to get a something to plug in to my TV for streaming jellyfin and streaming games. Criteria:

  1. can play 1080p h264 from jellyfin without transcoding
  2. can stream 1080p 60hz games via steam link / moonlight
  3. low power consumption so it's not a big deal if I leave it on
  4. runs an open OS (raspian etc)
  5. wifi and bluetooth
  6. hdmi output
  7. less than ~150 AUD (100 USD)

Thanks in advance! Any tips around remote control and/or home assistant integration for it would also be welcome.

Raspi4?

$94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn't been reliable since Covid)

Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it's CPU decode only, can't handle AV1.

2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.
