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.

plex (on its way out) (media)
jellyfin (not yet migrated across) (media)
vault warden (password manager)
nextcloud (photo storage, secondary to one drive)
home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.
nginx pm (proxy manager)
octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)
all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It's fast, and silent, and cheap to run.
on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.
am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!
Any reason for switching? I am pretty happy with Plex, espcially how my friends can just open it and play my stuff.
no big reason really. just like FOSS solutions and keeping things simple. Plex has gone beyond simple (some might say complex. too much online tv crap which confuses the family when they just want to watch local content. It's not a huge deal breaker, hence the slow migration to jellyfin. no rush, one day kinda thing.
