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.

Tell that to your company's team of lawyers who are telling you just to take it down. Even if it's a grey area legal will tell you just to be proactive and avoid the whole thing. Plus like I said, charging for access is against ToS anyway, and most hosters who do that use this cloud service. Few bad apples spoil the bunch as they say.
and I'm cool with valid viewpoints, but god is everyone in this thread saying the same lazy thing. "Plex is trash, I dumped it, get Jellyfin". Like okay, I get it, can we not have 98% of the thread talking about Plex just saying "It's trash". At least some of them have valid criticism you're talking about, and I'm all for that, but I'm just over the pure vomit that most of these comments are. You're criticism is valid and makes sense, the lazy comments just saying "lol I switched to Jellyfin" are just annoying to me. Great, high five to you.
Don't say, someone else's opinions /comments are annoying to you?
I suppose the correct solution is to ask everyone else to not post what annoys you, right?
I think the point was, if you're not actively adding to the discussion, and instead are just giving the whole"kek, I use jellyfin", then rather stfu, it's already been said 100x in the comments.
That's a nonsense point.
You are assuming that everyone reading the topic knows everything you do. People don't.
The very reason I am using Jellyfin is because in some Plex thread on reddit, months ago, random people said something along the lines of "Lol, you should have used Jellyfin".
I knew that Plex was (although I did not use it myself) so I went to see what Jellyfin is. Once I saw what it does (amazingly well) and how simple it is to setup, I set it up. I am an old fart, I don't have time to follow everything anymore so I truly did not know about Jellyfin.
And that's the story of how I found out about Jellyfin. By someone loling in the tread about Plex.
But hey, everyone should just do what the guy upstairs want, so he doesn't get upset.
It is reasonable.
Okay, so how many times does it need to be said in one place? I'm counting 60 here right now.. I'm pretty sure after the first 10 comments you'd have picked up on it.
