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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

  • Jellyfin - film/tv, both locally and on a seedbox.
  • stable-diffusion-webui - self explanatory
  • Matrix/synapse - private instant messaging for myself and tech minded friends
  • MeTube - web UI for youtube-dl
  • Stash - like Jellyfin/Plex but for any adult media you may have (link is SFW).
  • Lemmy - only privately just seeing how it all works, I don't intend to make a public instance.
  • A fairly typical LEMP (Ubuntu, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP) stack on my VPS

Stuff I used to use or have at least tried out:

  • Plex
  • Calibre-web
  • Typical LAMP (CentOS, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack back in the old days (PHP4/5) when I did a bit of web dev.

Why Jellyfin over plex? I looked at JF but the lack of a good Xbox app made me stick with Plex.

Because Jellyfin is plain and simple and does not try to sell me "services" or "content" made by plex. It just plays what is on my drive

I jumped ship due to privacy concerns - I didn't like that my internally-hosted Plex web home had like 12 things blocked by uBlock, and I really like open source software!
