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.

Damn it damn it damn it!! I can't use Jellyfin because...its what I watch all my porn on. Plex was used for all the family stuff. Mother fuckers! Greed is a bitch. Edit: Wait..what if we are using a VPN...shouldnt we be good then?

Yes! How can I use this with my seedbox? Just FTP to my computer and use the stashapp from there?

You can hide libraries on jellyfin.

Just create a family user and a porn user and login how you please.

Or...If feeling a little bit paranoid, run a second copy of Jellyfin. That's what I do. Works well for me.

Yup, just spin up a second Docker image for your porn Jellyfin server. Copy your transcoding settings over from the existing image, and point the new image at different media folders.

Sweet Jesus thank you!

It specifically mentions email addresses (used for account creation I assume) and what content is being watched, which a VPN wouldn't do anything for.

What if its all tied to a seedbox, would that matter?

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago
