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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have a limited 20Mbps upload speed but 16 TB of storage. I’m kinda just asking if there’s anything I can use it for. I’ll donate one purpose: seeding Anna’s Archive. Not sure on other causes.

I use my 50 mbps connection to host Plex/Jellyfin and I have a wireguard setup to allow me to access my files.

It works... Mostly. I have to manually set my streaming rate in Jellyfin to something reasonable to make it work remotely.

Downloading files from my server is an overnight process most times.

It also runs qbit with port forwarding to have faster uploading speeds. Everything manages to squeeze through that 50 mbps.
