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.

I'm seeing a lot of love for Jellyfin in the comments. Seems like Jellyfin is finally mature enough to give a real shot.

Does anyone know how Emby is doing in relation to Plex feature parity?

I can confirm jellyfin is great.... But I have moved onto burning onto physical Media (BD) to avoid HDD / SSD failure with data loss

Optical disks rot even in perfect storage conditions. There's no failure proof storage solution easily available.

Yeah disc rot is a problem... But luckily it's A LOT longer (50-100 years)

This is compared to HDD (6 years) and SSD (10 years)
