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.

I have proxmox running on PC in my closet. So far not a ton of things hosted on it:

Current:

  • Minecraft (vanilla) on debian
  • Valheim on debian
  • A debian VM running some tools (namely dynamic DNS)

Planned:

  • Plex!
  • Prolly more game servers

If you're open to things similar to Plex, I'd recommend Jellyfin! Plex has been making some decisions lately that aren't necessarily selfhoster friendly. A selfhosted instance of Plex still authenticates using Plex's central servers (if you're internet is out or Plex is down and you want to stream your own movies or shows, that won't work due to failed authentication). That's compared to your Jellyfin instance handling authentication locally. If you can contact your server, you can watch your media. Plex has also announced a credit skipping feature, uploading credit timing to their central servers that can be restored on complete rebuild. While they say it's anonymous, they need some way to associate you and the proper credit timings, to send that back to you.

Jellyfin is earlier days in development, and you should check to see what clients are available to see if that would work with your hardware. But Jellyfin is definitely catching up, I've been very happy with their server and applications.

Oh neat! Thanks for pointing me toward that. Will definitely check that out:)
