Like the title says, I’m new to self hosting world. 😀 while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? 🙂thank you

    Plex. Despite everything be supposedly self hosted, they are spying on what you’re watching and sharing that info with 3rd parties, your friends and your family.

    Use Kodi instead or if you’re old school like me, an old fashioned smb share running on a pi.

      I wasn’t aware you could do something like this on kodi, i remember it being basically just a client for viewing content, not a web based server

      I agree with the sentiment but Kodi isn’t really a direct replacement for a plex server, it’s a client replacement. You want Jellyfin or at least a mysql backend for Kodi to get the shared watched status and such.
