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.

With docker-conpose it took less than 20 mins to setup the system across several machines and have it working. Definitely worth investigating.
Pro tip 1, use it to strip out any languages you don't need and other optimisation techniques like reordering streams will save space and reduce transcoding overheads.
Pro tip 2, You'll encoded fastest if you can offload to a GPU, I did this in two gaming pcs with decent albeit 7 year old, Nvidia cards, but you'll get slightly better results (barely noticeable quality wise, but slightly smaller) through a CPU encode, it'll just takes about 7 to 20 times as long.
Thanks again for the addtitional insights on this! I was indeed planning up picking up an Intel Arc 310 or a 380 later on as they are super cheap and seem to be excellent at hardware transcoding :)
