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.

I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don't love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won't go to the site - annoying.

I use Tailscale already to access my server infra remotely, but honestly I don't see this as a viable option for my non-technical friends and family. Plus, I need to support all kinds of devices like smart tvs. How do you fine folks deal with this issue?

Can you help me to understand how to bypass the CDN while using Plex?

[–] icedterminal 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To bypass their CDN (referred to caching) you need to setup a Page Rule for the entire Plex domain.

Cache Level set to Bypass for https://plex.mydomain.me/*
