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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm interested in using Jellyfin. I learned that you can install the Jellyfin "channel" on any Roku device to stream to it. I have a TCL Roku TV and when I search for Jellyfin nothing appears. Also when I follow the link from Jellyfin's website to Roku's website it redirects to the main channel page and when I search for it there it doesn't appear.

Is Jellyfin still available on Roku? I can't find anything online indicating that it shouldn't be.

Here is a forum thread on the Jellyfin forums from 2 days ago with an explanation and a solution. Looks like somehow the Roku Jellyfin client somehow has been marked as Beta which requires some extra steps for installation.

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I needed to know
