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.

Neat idea, would be interesting if it used your own content from DLNA, Jellyfin, etc. The code looks simple enough that it should be possible to add a plug-in/provider for that stuff.

I think that it’s not going to have a long lifespan though. Being a simple and easy front end for various streaming sites might paint a target on it. Rightly or Wrongly.

I can see it having a longer life if it were to integrate some other technologies aside from the above like IPFS, BitTorrent, etc. The libraries to do that are already readily accessible eg LibP2P. Though that again might paint a bigger target.

Either way it’s definitely really neat and I’m sure a fun project to fork and explore if someone is feeling up to that kind of work.
