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.

You can get away with a pretty low bitrate for most. As others have said, set the egress upload limit in the app to whatever you prefer, and just be ready to transcode.
Never charge for access to your server in any way. That is officially 100% illegal. If you can't do it without charging, you can't do it
Yeah I wasn’t planning on charging. Legality aside, it’s just a shitty thing to do.
I share mine with about a dozen friends and family, and some have offered to pay me. I didn't think about it being illegal (although, of course it is) but the reason I wouldn't charge is that I don't want anyone having expectations about it working. It's worked smoothly for about a year, and if it breaks I'll fix it on my own time.
