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'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Yep. 100% agree. I have a 175TB server. Sure it was expensive to set up initially, but I have all shows and movies I want, always. From all the different services I would have to subscribe to, I imagine I have recovered my initial outlay and I never have to worry about media being removed from the service or it going out of business.

I have things that aren't even available if I wanted to subscribe. Best thing you can do for yourself.

No commercials, always high quality. Available anywhere, at any time.

I really hope you have that backed up

He/she probably has all his/her movies backed up in the internet ;)

It just takes a really long time to restore from those backups. And weirdly, they're scattered all over the place...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Depends on your source and connection but I managed to recover 8tb of movies in a couple weeks.

I have a duplicate server off site that I back it up to

Same here, 192tb, but sonarr, radarr, plex, and the source that shall not be named (I respect the 2 rules).

It's not about outlay, I can watch what I want, when I want, how I want, without anyone tracking, even wrote my own video player interface in python so the mouse buttons handle all the settings.

Completely ruins you for normal media :/

Is it useful without piracy though? It would still be expensive to buy all that media? And usually you can’t even download movies etc that you buy online. Am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite a bit of what I have on my Jellyfin server is ripped from DVDs and Blu-Rays that I already had.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Makes sense. I didn’t think of copying from disks
