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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Obviously they got outside pressure to remove this because of muh ease of piracy sharing

Honestly I really don't like how self hosted streaming services have been lumped into the same category as piracy. I have no issue buying media. If the law says I can't share it outside my household I will comply without arbitrary software locks.

My concern is that media companies will go after Jellyfin. They don't really need to win all they need to due is bankrupt everyone involved.

Don't worry, there are countries where it's perfectly legal to rip your own physical media and use it in a digital library. There are some countries where it's even legal to download a pirated digital copy of your owned media.

Jellyfin will remain, and even if the capitalist pigs try and go after it - which is already close to impossible - they'll find shelter in a country with moral values.
