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.

That's interesting, I wonder why no one in these comments mentioned it if it's a bit farther along than Jellyfin. Maybe just good word-of-mouth marketing?

Jellyfin is actually open source and free. Totally self hosted. Emby is closed source and has a licensing model similar to Plex's.

Ah, that would do it! Thanks for the information.
