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 keep getting my ears blown out because of sonarr downloading quiet rips. How can I fix this? Plex doesn't seem to have any settings to do it.

Look up ReplayGain. It analyzes and then adds metadata about the peak gains of each file, to the file, without the need to re-encode anything. Foobar2k natively supports it. Hopefully Plex also has support for ReplayGain.

VLC also supports ReplayGain information, and you can set default ReplayGain value on Android, and likely on the desktop one as well.

However to create ReplayGain you need Musicbrainz Picard or the ReplayGain Scanner function of FB2K.

This is the first thing I thought of. ReplayGain has been how this has been done for decades. It doesn't need to reencode the file, which will reduce quality, and there are programs that will scan folders to calculate the gain for each file. Other options suggested that reencode seem unnecessary and inferior.
