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.

Probably, I dunno. Technical idiot, remember? From a real life perspective, what are the consequences of unencrypted video files being shared to a Roku?
If it's only on your local home network, it's not a problem at all. When you say 'phone home', it makes me think maybe you're accessing it remotely over the internet, in which case it would be very easy for your ISP or anyone who is curious to see what files are being shared.
Real life consequences range from your ISP saying stoppit to reporting agencies flagging you as a distributor of illegal content and reporting you to the FBI.
Of course, this is me assuming the files you're hosting are copyrighted movies and things of that nature, and that you sweat the FBI at all. I dunno what country you live in.
