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.

(Assuming you have a Plex pass):
Setup for Plex isn't just easier, its basically non existent. Run the exe, point to folder, done. HW encoding just works, transcoding just works, metadata gathering just works.
remote streaming. No need to setup an elaborate VPN scheme and install a client for it on every device you want to have remote access. It just works and even punches through CGNAT and the like
Clients. Plex has a client for every system under the sun. No need for sideloading or anything like that, they are everywhere
UI. Plex has a sane and good looking ui for the streaming client and the admin interface.

Jellyfin is not bad, but its just not a replacement for Plex. And the way the devs are acting, I doubt it ever will be
