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.

Given the recent news about Plex soon charging for remote access, I wanted to finish up my switch to Jellyfin.

What tools/methods have you all used to migrate watch history to Jellyfin?

I have a few family members in there, and would like to get everything switched over without resetting their watch history.

All the folks saying "just buy the lifetime pass" gonna be in for a big disappointment in about 5 years

If we got 5yr it's more than paid for itself. Even FOSS needs support - stop whining and support good things.

PLEX is not FOSS, plex is a proprietary fork of XBMC.

My point is that in 5 years a lot of these plex users will wish they made the switch to jellyfin sooner.

I know it's not FOSS. These whiners aren't going to support any project - FOSS or not- just whine.

If it takes 5 years to reach that conclusion... A) it's an easy switch, B) probably saved Jellyfin devs a bunch of moans, C) no regerts.
