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.

There's a lot of discussion on a very recent post about doing this for Jellyfin. You should start by reading that: https://discuss.online/post/40181742

This is not an apples to apples comparison because Nextcloud has security built in... it was designed to be published securely on the internet.

That's not to say Nextcloud is perfect and without security concerns, but it's miles ahead of Jellyfin which is Not designed to be published to the web.

The state of Nextcloud is not in any way comparable to the mess Jellyfin calls a Backend

FWIW it seems Jellyfin has some application-specific authentication/security bugs that complicate things a bit. Of course the same concepts should generally apply, but some considerations will be different depending on what application you’re exposing.
