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.

-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

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.

I am curious as to why people thing Plex is self hosting if Plex can change how your server functions? I have never personally considered it self hosting but do others still think it is?
Plex is self hosting, the auth is not.
So is the auth needed to set up your plex in the first place? It has been forever sence I used it.
no, the auth to use it at all ... internet goes down and you can't watch your own movies on your own network. peak self hosting.
That's simply not true. You can just set your local ip range as unauthenticated and use it to your hearts content without an internet connection.
You can add IPs that are allowed to use it without auth. The software itself is running on your own server.
Ok that is good to hear!
Actual answer.
