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.

I have jellyfin setup. What do you mean the entire arr stack?

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's a bunch of programs for automated torrent downloads. No idea what it has to do with setting up jellyfin, though.

They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc

Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.

You’re using Usenet for downloading Linux ISOs and you haven’t set up the *arrs? What on earth lol

I finished setting it up and boy this is life changing! I will have to add a few more TB to my storage!

I managed to do it yesterday for radarr and it is quite something! I have never felt the need to be honest. It feels like there is quite the initial setup and then it should work seamlessly. I just never had the time to do it.

Personally it's quite nice. I just request what I want to watch and the system grabs it automatically. It can download from Usenet too.

Cool! I'll try to look into it. Thank you!
