No need, you can create a password protected link that you can share so anybody can get in as a named guest. I host my own NC instance using the AIO docker since 2020 and since last year we’ve been using spreed (aka NC Talk). I manually added friends and family (each group with their own ACL rules) but also keep a live invite link for casual friends that might hop on a call every now and then. Password is just a safety measure so I don’t have randos joining the call/chat

I’ve seen that message only when I forget to add my relay info and key. Maybe it’s not getting picked up? Check on settings > network > relay/ID see if the info there is right.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 9 months ago:
This! I’d say that the best we can do is educate. Over the last 20 years people got taught to be lazy and go with the herd. They don’t want to change, all their stuff is already “in the cloud” and “I don’t have time to go tinker with that nerd stuff, I need something that works”.
“Why learn a new messaging app if everyone is using WhatsApp already”

- Comment on What are some unique Games to host server's of? 9 months ago:
We’ve spent last few months playing Enshrouded. The dedicated server is a resource hog tho, even on an empty server it’d use a ton of CPU time. Still lots of fun with a few friends exploring and building stuff

Trackmania can be self hosted? I’d love a friends-only score board and custom track rotations
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 year ago:
Jellyfin user here, glad I dodged the bullet when I had to pick between it and plex.
Tl;dr you want something like plex to:
- manage your media files for you
- get metadata for extra features (eg. show me similar movies, select an actor from the cast and see all your media with that actor, etc)
- track your watch progress
- play on several devices (tv, mobile, pcs consoles)
- transcode media to a compatible format for your client device
- share your media library with your family
- get notified of related media being released (new season of a show or new movie onba series)
And the biggest one for me
- tidy up ripped dvd/br movie collection, download missing CC or subtitles
- create a self-hosted alternative to shitty subscription services
