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.

As someone who paid around £120 for Emby lifetime: What the fuck
Of course, Plex really don't seem to realise they are a laughing stock in this community.
Plex kind of beats Jellyfin in: music player support (but I believe in separate dedicated services rather than a jack-of-all-trades, so I'd recommend Navidrome instead), and easy remote access (but Plex Cloud dependent).
The only thing Plex has that Emby & Jellyfin don't, that I think is pretty neat, is the combining of multiple servers in one library UI. That's it. And even then you can use Moonfin or Kodi clients, or Jellyswarrm in the stack, and that feature is FOSS too.
For myself I can access jellyfin from my tailnet, but Plex also makes secure sharing with friends and family over the internet simple.
You also get their OTA broadcast guide for free with plex pass. I doubt anyone else will ever offer that. The cheapest option I know of is HDHomerun’s for $35/year.
With those two things I suspect I’ll be sticking with Plex (if not exclusively) until they go out of business.
I think the price hike is from June or July 1
Oh yeah, ty
I also only paid 70€ for my Lifetime Plex, some 10 years ago. That was definitely worth it and continues to be, but this increase is pretty clearly a soft end for the lifetime licenses.
