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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hey gang, do you have any suggestions for moving data from my phone to my jellyfin server? I tried using the daemon tools on F-Droid and could not for the life of me figure them out.

True, I am using it regularly. However large transfers that take a long time have the tendency to crash quite frequently unless you leave the app open and the screen on, in my experience.

So at some point I setup Syncthing with a specififc folder on my phone that during charging the phone just gets synced with my server. Yes, the syncthing-fork that had some drama recently.

I also find it to be very slow on many networks, and even in ideal conditions it might get 2MB/s when the phone has a 10MB/s connection.

For photos and predictable stuff I thus use syncthing, and the odd very large thing I send using scp with termux.
