Selfhosted

Cool video and cool shirt! Is it sewn if it is it's even cooler!?

K.K. Good Day (KK Slider vs Ice Cube)

Oh and im right now trying to figure out how to get access from anywhere to my Jellyfin and Navidrom (oh I learnd that docker.yml is soo friciking easy to set up. I donno why I didn't do it to Jellyfin anyway…) server (not only from home network) I even installed Tailscale but im not so technical. Still. Video is very cool and I will try this photo digital album for my family. My grandma will be amazed for sure! Again cool video you seem very interesting dude!

My cool Docker icon lolz

We should have never lost the capability to have LAN parties for all games.

I set up my home server, then realized my Internet is shit and my upload speeds can't even steam 1 4k movie, let alone several at once.

I am not excited to triple my monthly Internet bill for better upload speeds, but it will have to happen soon.

The first disclaimer in the video is the most relatable thing I've read in a while

Every time I spin one up. I spend weeks setting things and playing with it. And then never use it again until I get bored and rebuild it.

I want a future where communities self host their media and circumvent media companies like Netflix and Disney. Local film clubs, TV clubs, hobbyists, etc. can come together and host as a collective bringing down costs and making this more accessible.

Dad said we're getting a sourcebox!

Thanks for using peer tube

I have my own server and it's great, but the real product these streaming services sell isn't access to content—it's discoverability and recommendations. We need a better solution for that!

My entire life is Linux and self hosted, aside from Email. I may get to that one day too. Love my Plex server, even with the more recent baloney the company's apparently been up to.

I should be using Jellyfin but once I get home from work I don't want to tinker any more, I just wanna play a game or dick around.

Agree with the message in the video, these companies should be told to pound sand the minute they do a single anti-consumer thing.

That's a welcomed thing, often it's daunting to do it from scratch when all guides assume you're a masters student in computer science lol

Hosting email just saved the day! My ex got locked out of her email account and password resets were blocked. However she still had one “home” forwarding email configured as a recovery address, so we were able to redirect it somewhere accessible and unlock her email account!

Started my own home server about a year or so ago. Currently hosting Immich for me and my gf. Jellyfin for archiving movies shows and downloaded YT videos. Forgejo for local git where I backup my work. Homeassistant to manage lights in the appartment and some other small stuff. Linkwarden to archive important websites and links I might need in the future (docs for work, how-tos for the server itself so I dont loose all that setup kbowledge). Syncthing to sync files between multiple devices - which is awesome, easy to setup and pair folders. Seafile to share files.

It has been great, it draws around 20-30W idle.

I am currently in search for Obsidian and Bitwarden self hosted alternative that can be run in docker container - if anyone has some ideas I am all ears.

I just have my old PC's running Linux connected directly to the tv or projector.

I use a super basic webdav server or free ^arr^ ^matey^ streaming sites.

I sometimes sftp into devices.

That's my setup.

Agreed. It's time my occasional minecraft/PZomboid server got a nextcloud upgrade.

How beneficial is connecting via ethernet instead of wifi? My wifi mesh pods only have 1 ethernet out port, so I use it for my desktop. Not sure if I could split it or not, but I imagine if I did it'd slow down my desktop's internet connection, which I'd rather not do.

I pay for netflix... dumped prime a couple of years ago and got given disney+ for free for 12 months. I have my own server and am on version 3.2 of it after my first dedicated one I built in 2009. I've kinda had others before then, but it was an old PC I hooked up to my old CRT tv in about 2002 which struggled to play some mpeg2 content due to the weak single core CPU it had in it.

Now it's running on an AM4 setup with a Ryzen 5 5600G, so I can use the PCIE socket that used to have a GPU in it for a SATA expansion card, so that I can triple the number of HDD's it could hold. I'm slowly going through it once a year replacing the oldest 6TB drives (without about 80,000+hrs of uptime on them) with 14TB archive drives I rip out of seagate external drives. 4 more to go... to add to the 4 already done.

I think my first dedicated server had 3TB of storage (2x 1.5TB) and I still have one of those drives in an external drive that I use occasionally to fill with movies and shows when I go away and take one of my shield tv boxes with me... but mostly I take an external 500gb ssd as it doesn't require a power supply and I rarely have enough time to watch 1TB of movies and shows whilst away.

Over the last 15yrs, it's been rebuilt a few times and upgrade many... adding extra drives, swapping out CPU's and so on. 3 ground up builds with the last one being built in 2020... Normally when I build a new system for myself, the mediaserver gets upgraded with my old parts... Hence the last one being on windows 7 and an AMD FX 8350 with DDR3 ram until mid 2020.

Currently about 70TB capacity.

My next one will have a dedicated raid setup with parity... it's the one thing I've never been able to do with such a random collection of different size drives... hence normalizing them all to the same kind of 14TB ones.
