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.

Honestly, I'd still notice relatively quickly. I'm running TrueNAS at home for file sharing, Jellyfin, backups and (soon) Home Assistant, but most things do run on a hosted VPS. Reason being that I share many of these services with one or several friends and my home is limited to around 30 Mbps upstream.
I'm also sharing some of my services but with family members and my upload is at around 10mbps. How do you go about sharing Jellyfin specifically with your friends over a VPS? I mostly just worry about storage space as it gets incredibly expensive to host media in the cloud.
I've got Jellyfin on a cheap ($20/year) VPS, and used SSHFS to attach it to some external hard drives attached to a Raspberry Pi. My upload speed is only 10 mbps, but that seems enough for most movies and TV shows, and multiple users can watch simultaneously via SyncPlay. Transcoding works too (up to 1080p)
Where did you get that cheap of a VPS? Either i'm bad at searching the web or I am missing something, but I can't find anything below 5$/month (60$/y) even with very poor specs (1 shitty cpu + 10gb storage + 512mb ram)...
I found a deal for a Racknerd KVM VPS on lowendbox.com--I'm not seeing the same one, but similar offers pop up often!
