Also tired of endless streaming subscriptions? Take back control and self-host!

Are you tired of shelling out money for multiple streaming subscriptions every month? It seems like every media company now has its own platform

@AstaMcCarthy @nrdufour I have some of those also live for everyone to use! more here!

https://stux.me/web-dev/service-overview-and-uptime-page-with-kuma-uptime/

There is a full list in the menu on that site under "Services"


stux@me:~$ /Service overview and uptime page with Kuma Uptime

With a bunch of free web services a status or uptime page is also a must. Luckily there are beautiful self-hosted solutions.

I don't think Emby is open source any more as suggested on your link, there's no recent updates on their GitHub, I hear they went closer to stop people bypassing the paywall for premium. Still looks a great option, and I'm nit-picking, but wanted to be sure your page was as correct as possible☺️

Emby was always proprietary and was never even completely source-available.

@Suiseiseki isn't Jellyfin a fork from Emby? Wouldn't there need to have been a complete source available at some point for that? Genuinely interested, no snark intended (but also very tired today so ability to convey that might be impaired.. 😅)

wish Jellyfin would federate (invite only, oc, like NextCloud) *sigh

great list.
I see you mentioned a premium for Emby, but not for Plex. I find Plex very misleading and intransparent about what is actually free and what is part of a paid tier. It also requires signing up with Plex to use your self-hosted instance, which I personally dislike, but that's beside the point.
Maybe it's worth to add a hint to your list for Plex premium features as well. 🙂

I used it once for a total of ten minutes or so. I found signing up elsewhere to run software that I'm hosting on my own hardware very alienating. 😅
