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.

I use an Nvidia shield pro.
Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).
I assume there's a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don't use YouTube for much because I can't stand YouTubers.
Can this be de-googled? I'm really just trying to get something that is pure android with jellyfin and newpipe.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I think my experience could be relevant.
I have a MiBox TV S 4K, which as far as I know runs pretty pure AndroidTV (but I might be wrong). This is still going to try to connect to Google and Xiaomi servers for tracking and ads... but I have set up a custom DNS blocking trackers and ads.
I found this Reddit post and followed the instructions to change the DNS server on the MiBox to NextDNS, where I could later activate relevant blocklists (SmartTV, Xiaomi, Google). I also perform monitoring of the domains the MiBox connects to and have blocked a couple manually.
Finally, for AndroidTV forget about NewPipe and use SmartTube. It's the same idea, but optimised for the AndroidTV experience where you have a remote and not a touchscreen.
Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.
Glad that I could help. If you need help with setting the custom DNS or choosing which domains to block feel free to ask me here.
Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.
+1 from me.
The Shield is a couple years old, but it handles everything you throw at it perfectly.
