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.

Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I'm looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.

So far, I've found:

  • devfake/flox - the original, hasn't been updated in 5 years
  • Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
  • MediaTracker - "highly inspired by flox" and also tracks books and computer games

These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you're watching.

Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker's README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?

Trakt also sells your data off to whoever wants it even though they explicitly say that they don't. https://trakt.tv/privacy

I hadn't had anything on any ad service about harry potter in years. Never searched anything about it or anything. Watched a quarter of one movie via jellyfin on linux completely locally with the trakt plugin. A few hours later I had harry potter advertisements everywhere that I don't have an ad blocker.
