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.

Jellyfin also supports UPnP, but you really shouldn't be exposing the raw ports to the public anyways.
Ideally, you'd setup Jellyfin and a reverse proxy like SWAG that handles the SSL stuff for you.
Thanks, I just realized what community I was in lol. Stumbled in here from the everything tab, so now I understand the technical stuff!
I'll stick around here a while you'll have me!
Haha, welcome! Always good to have new people come in and potentially start their self-hosting journey. It can be quite fun if you have the time and interest.
Welcome! Consider a VPN if you need remote access, unless you plan to share it publicly with a lot of people. It's a bit more work, but safer than directly exposing your PC to the internet.
Thanks! I actually already have a PIA subscription that I use frequently
In this case, it would be a VPN hosted on your home server/router or a VPS. A commercial VPN wouldn't help you here, although you can use it in combination.
