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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Kodi & Plex are just ways to manage, organize, and browse a multimedia collection.
If you're talking about accessing a specific server that has a large collection of multimedia on it, accessing it is fairly simple
Step 1: Have a friend who is hosting such a multimedia collection on their server Step 2: Ask that friend if you can have a login to access it.
To my knowledge there aren't really any people hosting such servers that are giving away access to people they don't personally know. Certainly not for free.
I think the illegality of it usual restricts it to people you know fairly well.
