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.

I've made JellyFin and a few other services available from the semi-static IP that I get from my 5G antenna so that where ever I am I can stream my library from jellyfin.mydomain.com. Video and audio in general works fine everywhere, but when streaming on my mobile, some videos are missing the voice track. I suspect this has to do with voice being encoded in a 5.1 format on some files. Is there a way to force stereo on my mobile?

Almost always this is a player issue as mentioned. I've had similar issues with some files where audio just doesn't work on one player but works fine for another. Same with subtitles. Set to an external player like VLC and see if that fixes it. (For what it's worth, I mostly access Jellyfin from my Chromecast and I have it set to prompt me for a player each time I start watching something, one of them always works but for my files it isn't consistent which)
