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.

How difficult can it be to just give someone a login? I don't get the whole sharing jellyfin is difficult argument. It is just as easy as any online service 🤷‍♂️

while I agree you have to remember everyone one here is likely way more techie than the average person

the ONLY issue I think non-tech people have with JellyFin is that you have to enter a specific domain/ip address to connect to a server - like I know to us that’s simple but it’s also very unlike how most paid-for streamers operate
