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 recently got a crazy deal on an 832 ZimaBoard and I'm hoping to use it to replace my beefy old gaming pc as my media server setup. I aim to achieve 7 concurrent 1080p streams and at least 4 1080p transcodes on either Plex or Jellyfin.

  • If you have a MiniPC or a Zimaboard, what's your maximum number of concurrent streams and transcodes you've achieved on Plex or Jellyfin?

  • How did the performance fare, especially at peak usage?

  • Any special configurations or hardware tweaks you'd recommend for optimal performance?

  • Do you recommend any low power, small form factor alternatives?

Thanks for reading!

I just did my entire movie and TV library. Was set and forget once I got it configured properly. Had each one of my proxmox hosts running a Tdarr lxc and it took a few months to process it all. Only encoded during what Plex says is the least played hours so I didn't try to copy a movie onto an already playing movie.
