Wish I had the time/energy to host this much... Currently I'm running
- Plex
- Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
- pihole
- pivpn
I'm also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.
I'm also hosting both jellyfin & navidrome to see if I can get rid of plex for music.
Currently I find plex better at managing my library, but with all music related development going to plexamp and the devs decision to lock out my users from it despite having paid for plex plass for my users, I have to find an alternative that is user friendly.
I am hoping that once my library is sufficiently large, with the metadata related issues being resolved, I can finally introduce them to my music library.
I understand none of this but I do find it cool looking and very interesting.
I use Plex and even then it’s on a seed box.
Lemmy 😉
How do you host it? I’m getting more and more into the idea of running my own stuff. Do you have a server set up at home, or are you renting servers somewhere?
Not OP, but I have a Synology NAS DS918+ and run a bunch of Docker containers on there 24/7.
Yes I basically just built a PC with a bunch of storage and expansion options. The original motivation behind it was Nextcloud and leaving the public cloud ecosystem. Everything else is just icing. My OS of choice is unRaid, since it offered the best flexibility in terms of storage options for me, however there are a bunch of other OS's etc to consider, depending on your level of comfort and use case.
Looks super cool. How do you add the uptime on top?
It's one of the standard Homepage widgets. You can also enable disk utilization etc
I need to get back into self hosting. It's been a while and the server has been off the whole time... Think I need to get the server back up and running and take some inspiration from yourself.
