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.

Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I've heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.

Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.

Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).

Didn't know about findroid, looks cool

I'll probably keep both installed

They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.

I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.
