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.

Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Bought a lifetime Plex pass a few years ago so this doesn't affect me. It's honestly worth the cost especially over time.

I also bought a lifetime Plex pass a few years ago, but I've migrated to Jellyfin because Plex is no longer a trustworthy project.

Same. That's for me a red flag that a company took the enshittification path and things will get progressively worse.

Plus I would rather support an open source project that benefits the whole community than a greedy company who is trying to milk their customers.
