  I am a Plex guy and host Jellyfin along with other various services that aim to de-Google my family members and friends.

  I give out Plex access pretty readily and don’t charge for it. Honestly, companies and governments are more focused on the “big fish” IPTV private providers than randos like us hosting media servers.

  Still working on de-Googling people…

  Not sure if it is open source, but I switched to ReoLink a while back and have been very happy with it. Good Home Assistant integration, no subscription, and everything can be local (store video clips to an onboard SD Card).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker Swarm networking vs Docker Compose⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have used Docker Swarm in my homelab for years without big issues, you just have to be aware of its limitations. For example, I use SWAG for my reverse proxy and it works better as a compose deployment on an individual docker node because then it can identify incoming IPs. All of the backend communication runs on internal networks, which helps isolate them.

  I like using Swarm at home because it is simple and easy while providing good scalability and security (yes, I know podman would be more secure, but I haven’t taken that plunge yet).

  That being said, Docker Swarm isn’t used in the industry much. So if you are looking to expand on your IT skills, K8s is the way.
