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.

Selfhosted Trakt.tv alternative? (lemmy.ml)

Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I'm looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.

So far, I've found:

  • devfake/flox - the original, hasn't been updated in 5 years
  • Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
  • MediaTracker - "highly inspired by flox" and also tracks books and computer games

These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you're watching.

Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker's README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?

Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).

Not that you shouldn't self-host an alternative, but you don't have to.

I'd like to track these things:

  • movies/shows I'd like to see at some point
  • movies/shows I have in my collection
  • movies/shows I have watched (and when/how often)
    • and they should automatically get removed from the watchlist once watched

I believe TMDB only does the first. And self-hosting makes sure the data stays under my control and the service doesn't vanish or gets paywalled anytime soon.
