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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

As an old IT guy I empathize with the control of data. I have my array of self-hosted servers and love my CLI.
With that said, the older I get the less patience I have for hacking it together and supporting it. I still prefer privacy, and indeed Firecore Infuse is "Private by design" by their own statement. It's not open source and I am not clear if it's audited, but for as long as it lasts I'm happy friends and family less technically inclined have a simple easy familiar interface which I don't have to support.
I will say I'm impressed A Pi4 works so well for jellyfin streaming. I guess it's not transcoding, so it's just a database and file share.
While I've used the pi as a media server before and it did admirably I think you have the wrong idea, it's just a set top client. A Pi Zero could probably do just as well or pretty much anything that can run Kodi ... which rules out AppleTV sadly.
and I'm right there with you not supporting other peoples tech. My parents Chromecast got a PiHole exemption because screw explaining why they're watching a static screen for 3 minutes where ads used to be ... every time; if their tv app even loads without phoning home in the first place.
