Selfhosted

56957 readers

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.

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

Authentik is your friend fam. Might take a minute or two to get it spun up the way you want, but then you can support using a single IdP (that you control) for all your hosted stuff (except Plex). If you want MFA you'll have to set it up differently than I, I just use an LDAP lookup but it works great.

I could do that, but going "hey make an account here on this thing that you have no clue what is that I host and then you can use that to log in to my media server" is still too weird and not normal for a normie.

I also think it's a complete nogo until jellyfin has native support for it.
