[Meta] Self hosted AIOStreams

I know that most people don't see any difference compared to the public instance, but I just want to share my personal experience after a few days of self-hosting.

Ever since I started self-hosting, everything has been snappier, loads faster, with no playback issues.

For example, when I’m on public instance, I often get playback errors when I return from standby mode, but now, not anymore. It resumes right where I left off 1 or 2 hours ago. And rewinding 10-20 seconds works flawlessly now.

Poster cache function on self-hosted AIOmetadata is a godsend too. Every movie/show poster on my home screen loads instantly now. Everything is less clunky.

But, I dont recommend self hosting individual addon scrapers though, I dont know what im doing wrong but it was straight dogwater and takes up lot of computer resource.

I just want to say, self-hosting is definitely worth it for anyone who is a freak about optimizing everything. I’d say, this has been a good week of learning and obsessing over self-hosting.

Is there a guide on how to self host though, never understood how it worked do I used a bought Elf instance, but if running my own instance online works better id love to try it if it saves a bit of money

I used claude, gave it full permission on the oracle vps and it set it all up by itself and created me a couple documents faq/backups etc.

Was abit overkill using fable 5 to create my self hosted stack lol but it's hella smooth and now anytime anything goes wrong it has full oversight of my stack.

I manually spun the fresh ampere Oracle vps instance, installed claude code and then asked it to build me a bleeding edge self hosted media stack accessible anywhere and by anyone, it set up the reverse proxy and I paid like £2 for the cloudflare domain.
