Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Holy shit, sounds like this would enable people to have a community in which m every person has a Jellyfin and they each use all of them.
One person could specialize in documentaries and another in shows.
Combined, it would mean a huuuge library.
I wonder how high demand content would work. As in, if a TV show is watched a lot, could it be saved in multiple servers and the swarrm figure out who streams from what to balance demand?
Keep in mind this isn't federation. It is a way to access multiple independent servers via reverse proxy.
Yes, but a group of friends could use it to set up a group Jellyfin, sharing their libraries
How would each person contribute to it?
By ripping their legally bought DVDs, surely :P
I mean how would they upload their files to the server
It’s their own server, so they’d just… upload it.
um, they don't
Each run their own jellyfin server and I guess their own jellyswarrm to access al of their friend's servers? - Not read the docs though
Jellyfin plays the media. It doesn't make/produce/edit or upload the media. Think of it as DIY Netflix service
It seems like the libraries are server specific. So it'll probably just be saved to whichever server owns the library you're using.
