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.

Apparently all your friends and family are comfortable with hostnames and ip addresses. Not everyone's are. Also, not everyone wants to buy a static ip or setup a dynamic dns service or similar. Plex is definitely simpler. I have used both.

Excuse me, I thought the comment I replied to was talking about the setup process of the jellyfin server itself.

Well yeah maybe that too, but a server no one connects to is a paperweight. The connection part confuses laypeople

I mean, even in that regard, I did not find it that hard, but I do have a domain.

As I said, most people don't have that nor do they want to set it up.

I wasn't ignoring you. I explicitly put the caveat after "but" specifically because of what you said.

Gotcha. I read the tone differently, but all good.
