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.

It makes me wish I was selfhosting more services, music & chat in particular. It wasn't important enough to set up yet

Can recommend Jellyfin, I use it for both music and tv/movies. Not sure on the chat bit, there are so many option it could get a long list

I have Jellyfin, but I haven't tried it with music. How does it compare to Navidrome?

For chat, I was thinking something super simple for the weird situations like this. Alternatively, Briar if you're near the person you want to contact

I moved from subsonic to jellyfin years ago, cuz subsonic didnt do video very well.

Jellyfin looks to do all the stuff Navidrome does, plus video in the same way
