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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

No they’re not. No one is connecting their tv to Tailscale, especially not your parents or grand parents, and ip whitelisting is still dangerous and insecure on networks you don’t control.
Tailscale has native clients for all the major TV OS'. And I'm not whitelisting public networks for my friends' convenience. If they're traveling, they use tailscale with their mobile device or not at all. If you're talking about IP spoofing that's not a realistic vulnerability concern for a home media server.
At least I know the potential attack vectors for my Jellyfin server and can mitigate potential security concerns.
No it doesn't lol. Only the extreme minority of people are using TVs that can even install apps.
Yet on plex there aren't any lol. If you're opening your server to the internet, and giving other people access, it's not secure - especially via software like JellyFin where the devs even know and say it's not secure.
