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.

i'm ootl; how was plex able to ban them? isn't hetzner just a vps provider? (not questioning you; just curious)
Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can't reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.
I've been using a reverse proxy on a Hetzner VPS pointing at my home plex server for years without issue. Maybe this only applies to people running the actual Plex software on a Hetzner VPS?
Yeah, your home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there's no problem there.
It's people actually hosting there that got screwed over.
that's wild :o
That's what you get for using anything that doesn't work fully offline. Seriously people still defending Plex and not seeing that it will bite them back sooner or later are delusional.
Given that hardware doesn't die, my Jellyfin will probably work until the heat death of the universe.
Basically it's possible by checkin IP of the server.
