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:

  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.

Wait, does emby do remote access similar to Plex? And without VPN like JF? That's literally the only thing keeping me on Plex.

I only personally have experience with jellyfin, but the docs of Emby look to support the same remote access as Plex (without the TURN server).

So essentially you can use a login instead of a server IP, but it does require port forwarding or upnp on your router - which you may already have enabled.
