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.

So I do have a jellyfin instance, but for some reason it couldn't play some video formats that Plex could. I haven't looked into it in too much detail yet though. And definitely need to look into Shinobi or frigate! Thanks for the suggestions!

Check your encoding settings! Also if you use an iOS client, I highly recommend Swiftfin, as it seemed to support direct play on some files the Jellyfin app wouldn’t play at first. I’m still new to it too, but after I got my GTX 1080Ti set up on the right encoding settings, it’s been nothing but butter with everything I throw at it.
