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

As others have said, Jellyfin server with Infuse as the player on Apple TV is the best experience, especially for Dolby Vision, which works flawlessly. Anyone in your house should find the interface super-easy to navigate. But if the price of Infuse turns you off (which I get), the native Jellyfin app on Apple TV isn’t terrible (Swiftfin), and there are some other less-polished apps for way cheaper than Infuse (MrMc I think?). The native Jellyfin app struggles with Dolby Vision, otherwise you’ll have no trouble with it, but definitely a slightly clunkier experience than with Infuse. I personally find the price of Infuse way too high, but I can’t argue with the stability and slick UI.
The Apple TV also caches content really well, so you won’t run into any issues with high bitrates over streaming. I regularly watch full 4K Dolby Vision Blu-rays (50-70 GB files) with buttery smooth playback, no issues at all.
