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.

What, exactly, is your end goal? To have a way to play movies that you're bringing with you on the hotel TV?
Edit: I only all because this seems like a hell of a lot of work just to play movies while you're traveling, when you could just play them with VLC directly.
Or, if you really want to steam movies to your phone, put VLC on your phone, run minidlna on the computer, and plug it into a GL-iNet Slate Plus.
But if you're really, like, going to some big get-together and are responsible for media entertainment for a crowd of 20 in a rental, then yeah, taking Jellyfin makes sense. But the hardware doesn't, unless you make damned sure there's nothing that'll need transcoding. One movie, most CPU/GPUs can manage, but if several people are transcoding multiple movies at the same time, it'll be a fairly beefie machine.
Yes, mostly just to have stuff to watch without commercials.
Are you aware of findroid? It's an android app that also lets you download the series and watch it in offline mode like other streaming services. Maybe this is an option.
Yes, I've used it in the past to download some stuff offline for airplanes, but I think that would be more cumbersome to download that way than automate it using sonarr/radarr, (unless this has gotten better in the past year or so). I'm expecting to have quite a bit of media on the nas since it'll be for an entire month.
You're gonna be on an aeroplane for a month?
e: tongue in cheek and all aren't SD cards are a thing these days? You've got the obvious network solutions but if you're off the grid?
Why bother?
