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.

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Yes, it does introduce insecurity, so not for everyone. I have it behind a domain on cloudflare (let's encrypt cert) with nginx reverse proxy

And that’s where the extent of my technical knowledge smashes into a wall lol

Yes, it took me a long time to figure it out. Which is why Plex feels comfortable charging for it

I really, really wish I could competently set up and maintain a Jellyfin server. But even if I could, I have to get my wife comfortable with interfacing with it too. She has really enjoyed using Plex because it basically slots right in any lineup of the major streaming services
