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.

For your own personal items? It's not really worth it IMO. However if you're hosting something for the public, like a Lemmy server, then absolutely yes you should.
For Emby that is breaking their ToS, and you'll have a big corpo watching your traffic all the time. Just buy a cheap 5-10 dollar domain and get HTTPS up and running and you'll be fine.
Can this be done with an ISP that gives you a dynamic IP? I have a domain through Google Domains, I just have no idea how to set it up for Jellyfin
Look into dynamic DNS. It's for your exact case, when your up updates you need to update the DNS host with your new IP. Idk if Google domains does it, I use it with namecheap and then there's an option in offense that will tell namecheap that my IP has changed.
This isn't a "production" worthy option because there can be downtime when your Ip switches, but for us it's perfect.
