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.

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Hellooooo jellyfin!

Only use open source software

[–] lillo@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Jellyfin + Tailscale, the perfect combination.

What does tailscale add to jellyfin?

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 minutes ago

The ability to watch from anywhere.

Install on the Jellyfin server and share that server (or just the IP with the Jellyfin port) with whoever you want. Now they have access to Jellyfin and Jellyfin only.
That's how I set stuff up for friends and family.

They do not have chromecast support. (Atleat the last time i checked) Thats a deal breaker for me, would love to use it.

I run Jellyfin on Chromecast with Google TV every day, it works super well.

Unless you mean casting from your phone, then I don't know.

IIRC it has it. Not if you're behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.
