I’ve been wanting to learn basic self hosting for a while but I don’t really have the time to dig into it now (I have two young kids, a job that takes a lot of brandwitch, and brand new medical problems). I’m only in this situation because Jellyfin was waaaay to easy to setup locally so now I want more. It’s all their fault.
In a few years I’ll dig more, for myself and to be able to teach some basic tech literacy to my daughters when they grow up.
Ok, I guess it’s not stupid if it works! And it seems easy. I’ll try netbird first (recommended below), as their tutorial on how to setup jellyfin seems pretty comprehensive. If I fail this is number two on my list !
They all seem self hosted and I am not yet to the point where I feel at ease with that as it seems to be “exposed” (I don’t really know what it means to be honest). I do intend to get into this kind of stuff later though.
Netbird has a free tier that they host, It seems simple enough and it is open source! That’s a lot of perks. I’ll start by trying that !
Github appears to be owned by microsoft so I’d rather avoid that if possible (on principle), but if the rest fails I’ll fall back to that !
Thanks, everyone. That sounds like a viable option. Is it as secure as Tailscale in terms of privacy?
Uh, I never heard of Yunohost before but it actually seems awesome ! I bookmarked it. It might lead me to start with getting serious with selfhosting sooner than expected. The downside is that it will lead me to ask even more stupid questions to this community…
