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.

  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.

I don't think downplaying them is the way to go though, Some of these issues have been in existence since 2019.

I am not downplaying them. And yes they should get fixed. But this attack needs access to an account on your server.

so as long as you can guess the full file path,

Yes, also should be fixed, probably by some sort of salt and authentication, but can be easily prevented by adding a random character in the base/root path to the media. Especially with docker or similar, thats an 1 min fix.

And even if not? What then? Why would someone want to attack that?

Those are not good, no. But no deal breakers and actually more blown up then downplayed imho.
