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.

I'm planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps.

Self-Hosted apps:

  • Jellyfin
  • Immich
  • Nextcloud Memories
  • Funkwhale or Navidrome or Mopidy
  • AudioBookShelf

Non-selfhosted apps I use:

  • Steam Link
  • All Streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, etc.)
  • YouTube, YT Kids
  • YouTube Music
  • Spotify
  • Audible

I know. But I need something to fall back to, or meanwhile I have the money to buy all the Chromecasts.

I agree with echo. A tv with android OS is far better than webOS or Tizen. I have samsung tvs and LG and loading jellyfin onto them is difficult...involving developer mode and toolkits to self compile and manually update. Atleast android OS has access to the same play store as chrome casts.

Fortunately, if you are looking to spend money on samsung or LG, Sonys run androidOS/google tv in just about all their tvs these days, price is near enough the same and you arent fiddling about just to install an app.
