What's the biggest reason you self-host? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

Freedom !!

Plex crossed a line with "Your week in review" emails today. in c/main@selfhosted.forum

I have never used Plex, never interested to self-host it, never read about its history, didn't understand its pricing, didn't understand its self-hosting vs paid thingy.

And I will keep it that way !!

But, One thing that I do understand is that there are Venture Capitalists who are running the show now. One thing for sure about VCs is that they don't care about products or services, they only care about financial returns.

Now they are just generating the buzz in the community. It's just that they are waiting for the right time to screw everyone. Because the VCs will want their investment's returns.

So, thank you to Plex for existing, but NO THANKS !!

Jellyfin all the way!

Exposing self-hosted services to internet for self-use only in c/main@selfhosted.forum

I never really understood the concept behind their free domains, but I never purchased a free/cheap domain after my first experience of getting charged 2-3 times for renewal.

However, are you talking about deletion of your personal data or your website data ?

Exposing self-hosted services to internet for self-use only (alien.top)
 

I have several selfhosted services that I have been using for months, now I wish to access these while I am not at home. Likes of nextcloud, nocodb, wikijs and other media sharing self-hosted services

I would like to know what precautions should I take so no one knows that such a domain exists.

should I purchase a crazy numbered domain like 671341412312.com ? or should I go for .tk domains.

Would like to get some suggestions from this community on other aspects that I am missing.

ntfy is a great tool. What do you use it for? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

I tried ntfy, got it to work once, but never worked again.

Will try again
