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.

Be prepared for a barrage of "Jellyfin" in your comments.

But yea seriously, use Jellyfin.

I wanted to move to Jellyfin, but there isn't an app for it on the LG WebOS library like there is for Plex, so I wouldn't be able to watch stuff on my TV, which sadly makes it useless for me :-(

I don't have the money to be going out and buying extra add-ons for my TV to watch stuff either, sadly. So, Plex it is for now!

Root your TV and install the homebrew channel on it.

Yes, this is real.

The Homebrew Channel for LG WebOS is got three pieces of absolutely essential software:

A YouTube app modified with built in ad blocking and sponsor blocking. The Jellyfin app. The Moonlight app.

With these three plus the toggle to block system updates your TV gets 1000% better for free.
