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

Easy for me but not my aunts, cousins or father in law to setup and use.
Nor will the VPN work on things like their TV or Roku or game console. You know the things that people typically sit down and watch media on....
Wireguard and possibly openvpn work on Android TVs. I set it up for my mom. Not sure about other OSs.
I believe your situation, that said I set up wireguard on my SO’s mac and all that is needed is to flip a switch in an app to connect. For my aunt, I’d likely set that up permanently since it only affects traffic when accessing the lan.
they are not setting up the Jellyfin server either, why would they need to bother with the VPN?
They're connecting to it.
yeah, it's the operator's job to help setting that up
