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.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.

Sure, you can also do this. But why not make it available to your network in addition to Jellyfin? What if you have a TV that doesn't have access to the Jellyfin app? If it's a private ZFS pool not on the network you're fucked. If you share the media via a network share, you can always do any number of things to stream that media to your TV.
It gives you a ton more options up to and including just watching the media on your PC in your favorite media browser.
Sorry, i didn't word that correctly. I understand why you might need a share, I just think a whole truenas instance just for a few shares is way overkill. If I needed a samba share, NFS export, or an iscsi lun i would just spin up a Debian container and be done with it.
