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.

Networking is a big aspect. I have almost 40 friends on plex, about 10 of them actively use my library. I also have access to 8 other plex servers in my circle. And I can put all the "latest added episodes" up on my homescreen with a few clicks.
With jellyfin I'd have to have at least 8 different accounts on 8 different instances.
And while the social aspect isn't great, I found a few interesting people by looking at plex reviews of recently airing shows. Or just finding people through "friends of friends".
There is a lot of things to be gained by having a central account and a connection beyond just very selective accounts on your own server, it really shouldn't be that baffling.
