Some time ago I did a whole series on setting up or replacing Netflix, but it's been a while and I've had a few more comments recently of people asking sort of where do I start? What do I need? So I have created this definitive list of what you need to replace every one of those services.

AndreaLOOK AT MY REPOST
Krystianfor the tunnel options couldn't you simply purchase a vps from ovh for example with unlimited bandwidth ( costs about £5-6 a month) setup a wireguard server on that and then connect your vm/server that does the downloading/sourcing to that wireguard VPN? I assume it would essentially work the same, the only difference is you just have to setup the wireguard server?

blazeit's people like you that cause companies to start using AI in their productions. you do realize that services like Netflix have to pay for the rights for every new show they add
Creator
Jan 20, 2026I don't think so.

blazethe more that people steal content the more that everyone else has to pay to make up the difference
Creator
Jan 20, 2026well, put the prices back down, let us share accounts, stop pulling shows randomly, stop showing ads and like last time people will pay. When it's all a cessable and affordable, people will and do pay.
4
PaulSo when on prime you pay to "buy" a movie then a few months later prime deletes it but doesn't refund you and they say you didn't own...
5
blazeyou are buying the right to watch it from their library
1
sebasaezmOh my god don't be naive man. Are you seriously suggesting that services are increasing their prices because of people pirating them? Are you blind to how capitalism work?
1
PaulGreat then it should be refunded when they delete it as i no longer have that ability to watch it. Again they chose a business model that clearly doesn't work
3
Creator
Jan 22, 2026that's a good point. if you pay, and it's removed you should be fully refunded the full cost.
PaulAlso that would be a rental deal not a purchase. They have both so which is it
1
blazeno it shouldn't you are paying for the privilege of not having to leave your home you are buying a service not a product
blazeit's not a rental because you have access for as long as the have the rights to the material. renting it only gives you the right for a set time
PaulNo i am buying the ability to watch a movie, if they remove my ability to watch that movie they have taken my money and stopped providing the service for which i paid.
1
blazeno you are buying the right to use their license to view the movie for as long as that license is valid you don't own the rights to the movie
PaulYou pay your internet provider for access to the internet, if the next day they block your ability to access 50% of it are you still getting what you paid for?
blazedepends on why they blocked it if you go against their terms and conditions you have broken your side of the contract forfeiting your money
DazzerlingJust like the old days when you’d go to a video store , pay for the privilege to watch it then have to return it the next day before 5pm and it had to be rewound.. Same principle just with technology..
1
PaulThats why they have a rent option, and i totally accept it for what it is, why call it buy when you aren't buying it though.
1
DazzerlingI am impressed with how companies and advertising have told us lies to get money out of us 😔
1
DazzerlingOhh and I can’t leave the media and big pharma out of it 😏
1
NopeLol 😂 that's not how any of this works 😂
2
blazeif you believe what you are saying you are an idiot
Liam Tielyeah but also i dont want to pay and gave ads... so i will pirate until prices are down again. if the conpanies are loosing money then the owner of the ip is asking too much and then someone needs to make a knock off. from a guy who is not wanting to pay more than $40 a month on subscriptions and dispise ads
1
LlewelynThere is a lot of research on piracy and its impact, your claim just isn’t true. Netflix made 11 billion dollars in profit last year… Their choice to use AI to cut costs is unjustified.
1
blazefake research to justify stealing
WhatajerkguyIts fine.. If they want to be competitive and not just a money grabbing company, then they could easily lower their prices. They had about $10 billion in earnings in 2025.. Earnings is after all operating costs. This means they pocketed 10 billion dollars...
1
blazedo you actually realize how much of a price difference there would be if they ran at no profit. it would be less than 50c a month
1
WhatajerkguyYou are bad at math. 10b in earnings, after all has been paid, in just 2025. there is only 300 ish million active subscribtions. Now devide 10 billion by 300 million. 😂 Maths is quite easy actually when you get the hang of it.
ɐʞʞnſTraffic on piratebay stopped bcs Netflix and spotify were so cheap. And they were only two streaming services ypu needet with less than 20€/month. now that every studio wants their own service to collect the money straight it's just like in the early 2000 and even 90's when we had to pay cable or satellite tv-channels to see that one show we like on each channel. That was what created Napster, piratebay and Limewire..
1
Scott Saville745then it's a good thing piracy isn't anything like traditional stealing since infinite copies of data be made at no cost to the original producer of said data.
Enitsoh nooo how will the billion dollar company survive, I guess they just have to can shows and use AI 🥺
1
GamerNerd2000yea so these days you pay for the right to watch a movie the same price you did nack when you BOUGHT the goddamn physical thing. 🙃👌
1
blazeyou clearly don't understand how inflation works money is worth less each year
JELine shareholder pockets more while people get fired.
1
KarzusI don’t think they ‘need’ 10 billion in difference. Sandman charted in the top ten for 10 weeks and was cancelled because of production costs. When it’s of of the FEW IPs that bought in new revenue for them in subs. They do not care about competition, consumers, performers or IPs. Profit is the bottom line and the cows they’re milking are on life support. I’m autistic, and morally ridged, so I can’t and won’t torrent; but don’t for one minute think you’ll see me out here licking the boot of the company sucking the soul out of the media industry. Do better.

JeremyFor step one, can simplify that just getting a decent QNAP or Synology NAS. Can run your apps (Plex, Debian, Docker, whatever) and has the storage. I just use QNAP QGet app to send torrents to my NAS, then within mins they are download and ready to watch on Plex. And I manually delete directly in Plex after if I want. Automation comes with it's own overhead and complexities. If you're just starting out QNAP NAS + Plex is good easy place to start.
1
JeremyI think HBO Max was my last straw. Was happy getting Canal+ last year which combines also Apple TV and HBO. Now that HBO rebranded at HBO Max, it got pulled from my subscription and I'd need to pay another $15/month to get it back. Oh it has more content? Fuck the extra content, I just want the shows I was already watching and paying for back. So yeah I am now using Stremio. I'm happy to pay for reasonable service but this is beyond nonsense.
Gen X rule .First of all you don’t need lots of ram or a high end cpu . I am running Emby on a micro server dual core 1400 mhz that like 10 years old I using dietpi as os very light and my memory use stays under 1gb . 2nd Plex is ok but now have to pay to watch outside you network so I recommend Emby or you can run both . 3rd I just download movies and tv myself I wait until,the complete season is out then it’s just one download . On this setup I can stream 4k and share with others over internet no problem with cpu load or memory . Keep it simple to start with and add all that fancy stuff later . My setup runs months and months with no rebooting .

Creator
Jan 13, 2026solid advice.
Gen X rule .Mind you I now looking at adding some of the extras you have running like the idea of it getting the content for me . Check out dietpi really easy to setup for people new to Linux or if anyone’s used a raspberry pi before you will be at home . Linux is amazing for not being a memory hog and unlike windows does not need rebooting all the time. With Emby harder to share outside of your network as need static IP or a redirect service I use noip and my router updates the service when it changes .

bobessentially search for SFF mini PC, don't buy anything older than an i5 7500 as older models have more limited hardware transcoding options and I'd recommend jumping up to at least a. 8500 as it's got 6 cores instead of 4. if your budget allows for something newer then great, but you might also want to consider ram/storage upgraded instead, linux has pretty low resource usage and these little machines can handle a surprising amount.

dark-wood-duckHow much does your time cost? Updating this amount of software, maintaining the configurations and ensuring the system doesn’t crash is gonna take a couple of hours a month minimum - for me that’s over $300 of time, which suddenly makes the subscriptions more palatable by far. Also quality on subscriptions is guaranteed… this stuff isn’t.
4
Creator
Dec 26, 2025I'd spend say 10-20 min a month managing this.

PandaabearQuality is usually *better*, not worse. Less compression.
3
johndoe77798is all automatic, no time no money
1
dark-wood-duckKubernetes / Docker is not automatic, Linux is not Automatic, Dell Firmware / Drivers are not automatic - for the applications / config I’d say they may gave automatic options. Scheduling all of this will be the biggest challenge.
dark-wood-duckExcept the movies / series that are badly pirated and have poor sound sync or other fun challenges. I was more referring to a standard level of quality that doesn’t change.
1
dark-wood-duckInteresting, how about we agree on 30mins as you’re actually running the set-up and have knowledge I don’t but I’ve got 30yrs of IT Infrastructure experience so it’ll probably only take me an extra 10mins. That’s still $100 of my time. What’s the run cost of the Optiplex? I know it seems like I’m going in on this but the other services you mention cost about $4 a month, electricity isn’t free so let’s say $3, the hardware spread over 3yrs (could last longer) is about $5 a month, and then the time to install this spread over 3yrs because we reinstall after hardware replacement (at 6hrs est is $1200 OTC for me) is $35 a month. So adding these numbers up I’m coming up with a TCO of $147 a month.
1
dark-wood-duckAlso for a novice these times will be much higher than for you or me, so time cost goes up, but they may not be paid as much as me so I think it’s a reasonable assumption that costs will fix at around that amount.
1
Chris Gardinermost people don't make $100 for 30 minutes of work. second hand servers and storage are relatively cheap. a lot of people do this as part of their hobby so that time spent learning and setting up isn't considered wasted time. You don't need to replace the machine every few years, media streaming isn't very demanding on hardware unless you're doing 4k encoding, I've seen kids run Plex on their old android phones with surprisingly good results, and if you have a raspberry-pi you can use that. In the UK streaming services start at around £5/6 with Advertising. It's roughly double if you want the "advertising free experience" which as you can imagine adds up very quickly. My server set-up requires next to no maintenance other than the odd update. It would cost roughly £5 a month to run on full power draw, but it never actually pulls that so it's closer to £2 a month. The server/Nas can also be used for photo backups and other things so you can add other savings into the mix as well.
6
dark-wood-duckDon’t disagree with much you’ve said, and I said the h/w could last longer but generally no more than 5yrs before security support runs out. My wages are high, I know, but also I can probably do this stuff 10x faster than most people (the 30yrs exp in IT Infrastructure accounts for both those things). In all honesty I’m just trying to point out for a certain wage bracket / experience level this is not really a worthwhile option - if you enjoy playing with tech and aren’t worried about time spent then this is definitely the way forward. But in terms of TCO it’s not quite as cheap as presented.
1
PandaabearBut.. that rarely ever happens nowadays? Unless you deliberately download Cam versions or never read comments. Like, the amount of time it takes to start seeing the trust worthy uploaders/pirate groups is.. so incredibly small now because majority of them produces good quality now.
3
dark-wood-duckYour auto-download tools aren’t likely to read comments, maybe they have some AI capabilities but on this h/w they won’t be able to do much. For new movies it still happens regularly.
dark-wood-duck@BenjaminSPowell - I want to make it clear I like the content, and for a lot of people this will be fun and interesting. I just want to highlight there are costs that are inherent in any infrastructure you run, maintenance, configuration, security and hardware replacement.
Chris GardinerThat's fair, the upfront cost isn't exactly desirable. Assuming you're not using windows, Linux rarely goes out of support due to ageing hardware, that's generally a windows server issue which is an absolute headache as you find yourself having to replace a lot of hardware all at once.. I've had a lot of success running truenas, the software raid is surprisingly good and everything else is really intuitive, I don't even think I've even had to access the terminal as it's all managed by the middleware. Definitely worth checking out if you ever consider looking into it, you can even connect it to your windows domain making backups and storage management a bit easier.
dark-wood-duckUpdates and security fixes for firmware / BIOS / Drivers will stop when the manufacturer deems the HW end of support - regardless of OS. Your server will be on your local network, and constantly attached to the internet, so unless you want to create an awesome jump point into your network for a hacker changing the HW when it’s EoS is a necessary evil.
Chris GardinerYeah that's a fair point, though those exploits are rare and usually physical attacks. I'd argue for hobby/home use it's not really an issue unless you've opened all the ports on your router and disabled the Linux firewall, in which case you're asking for problems. Linux is generally pretty safe updates are frequent even on really old hardware. HW released in the 1970s still gets driver updates which is honestly insane.. Still valid points with the bios and vulnerabilities like spectre, meltdown and old WiFi modules. What sort of sector do you work in, is it consulting?
1
ShrikeIt’s not “constantly attached” there are zero ponts of entry from the outside.
ShrikeThe Scene (IYKYK) has had naming conventions for 30 years for a reason.
ShrikeI’ve had a server running at home for 27 years and I’ve had to update drivers like once (Linux didn’t support my specific network card) and BIOS zero times. You’re overcomplicating things way too much 😁
dark-wood-duckYour “server” has more security holes than Swiss cheese.
dark-wood-duckYes there are good sources out there but to be honest naming conventions are only as good as the people who use them.
dark-wood-duckSo there are hundreds of exploitations out there for machines that connect to pirate sites… but why worry, it’s not constantly connected (until the exploit attaches it to a ransomware site). Also almost all these tools install as root.
ShrikeI’m not “connecting to pirate sites”. I’m downloading a .nzb or a .torrent file and sending that to my client. There are no exploits for either. Your concept of “piracy” is not very advanced. These tools have been fully automated for over a decade
ShrikeAlso none of them get root access, they live in rootless containers and get access to very specific locations on the NAS
ShrikeWhy would it? And if it does what’s the problem, you can’t access it unless you’re already inside my network.
dark-wood-duckSo while you feel your server is safe because .torrent & .nzb files aren’t executable as they’re metadata, the server still executes the download of the content which can be executable. The most common form of which is an executable file disguised as a video file.
dark-wood-duckIf you install docker correctly preventing root access then yes, however they have root access within the container and it has access to your network, also there are well proven ways to break out from a container without security monitoring implemented.
dark-wood-duckBecause the security flaws in an ancient BIOS can’t be patched at an OS level, and again your server is connecting to multiple sites on the internet that can have dodgy payloads, if these are malicious your ancient server is the perfect playground for ransomware, viruses and the like because of it’s poor security.
Anton Idontknowif your 2 hours cost 300$, just stop watching the movies
ShrikeHow? The amount of very specific things that has to happen for someone to take advantage of a BIOS bug on my server is astronomical 😂
ShrikeAgain, that would require a very very specific targeted attack at a bug that has never yet existed. You’d somehow have to give either a malicious search result to sonarr or craft a torrent file that would break whatever torrent client there is. There are ZERO cases of either ever happening. You’re just irrationally scared of things.
ShrikeNo? The server doesn’t “execute” anything. It’s not double clicking shit in explorer.exe ya spanner. It’s using ffmpeg to open the video file, which won’t work if it’s a binary executable. And there haven’t been major CVEs in ffmpeg in a long time, at worst you could crash it and MAYBE do a RCE but nobody has managed to yet. CVE-2025-1594 was close but again, very very specific things had to happen for that to be viable. Your threat model is WEIRD
dark-wood-duckYes, that must be it.
dark-wood-duckYes, you’re right, the chances of an ancient server with poor security patching being hacked are astronomical.
dark-wood-duck😂

Bronze 2 💪😏 ⚽️🏎️✨Websites often get take down, and the quality is often subpar with nothing more than 1080p. Also some sites can be slow. Having a homelab has some perks, everything you watch or plan to watch is physically present in your drives, you can watch anything even when the internet is down, plex and jellyfin work just fine on your local network. You can watch anything 4k, blueray, hdr10+. It will do justice to your 4k smart tv if you like high quality video. The bitrate is very high, so 4k is real 4k, not the compressed low bitrate garbage you get even with Netflix and YouTube. Also it’s nice to build a personal library, a collection of your favourite shows and films, having it all neatly organised at home. You actually own something, you’re not borrowing media from a free streaming site, you’re not renting it from Netflix and Disney. This last point is purely subjective though, and for every point I made I understand that it might not be worth the trouble for everyone.

H I I H A yHey quick question. I have a amateur home theater, meaning i need 4k HDR dolby digital plus with dolby atmos in a high bitrate. Can i get such quality? I always imagine this wouldnt work with media server, would it? I could get MUCH MUCH better quality and birate for movies out of blue rays compared to streaming, but i dont wanna pay 20€ for a blue ray to watch it once. I could rip it and return it but ripping and storing these big files would cost as much as buying them and storing them. And ideas?
ChewieBruh. Why all this route

Mariola ★my dad has been recording movies from tv getting rid of the ads and saving them for years, he has so many movies

Bierbergjust buy a mini pc with windows installed, set up Jellyfin server, plug in some external hard drives and your good, easy pc, set up maybe 15 to 20 min, no need for Linux (though its nice and should be used, it can get very technical, very fast), Docker and so on. Keep it simple, don't complicate things, especially for non technical people because you also need to maintain this and adding docker and other side steps is just going to make things more complicated in the long run.
56
Bierbergoh and use Tailscale for accessing the content from your Jellyfin server. Jellyfin has an app. Tailscale makes it super easy to access it. it has free tier, 10 users and I haven't bumped into usage limits yet.
6
Bierbergand this all doesn't cost anything per year, absolutely free.
2
Eduardo Estevaneor just buy a cheap domain and use cloudflare to funnel you localhost to the domain and it'll do the same as tailsacle and you have a person domain and you can access it from anywhere and you don't have to install tailsacle in all of your devices

BierbergYea, or that, except, again, this is already technical and not for everyone. What I mentioned here above is the bare minimum of technical knowledge to set up.

Pradd bitTried gettin jellyfin to work and it just wouldn’t. I could get it to work on pc but the mobile app just refused to work. So if I was gonna do this I’d look at plex instead

Pradd bitAmazing. I’ll definitely look into it 🙏🙏

FoxyAurora🇬🇧Mobile app needs to be on the same network. If you are using something like tailscale a free mesh VPN (connects you devices over vpn rather than traditional vpn to make them seem like they are on the same network) you need to make sure to use the Tailscale IP for the host device and dont forget the port. like 192.168.0.1:8080 or what ever it is.
Pradd bitYeah I tried literally everything including tailscale. It just is what it is 😭😭

BarryPiracy to the rescue.
ontheroxieThe real problem here is storage. There will be more and more content, and you will need much more space. More and more.

rokoko784None of them are worth their money. I know, we changed to be part of it if we watch every new series/film. But there are much more important things to do in life 😅 Friends of mine bought DVDs now :D but I don’t use any of these streamers anymore. Not worth their money

d&niDon't forget Immich so you don't have to pay for google one/icloud
mythos493Imma be honest with you, I’m too lazy for that. I’ll just pay the $8 a month for Netflix and use my free ad blocker

noneofyourbusinessyou don't have to pay for it, just ignore it
Mirage PresentIt’s not cheaper if you get all that content legally and stream it with the setup you’re suggesting
Vinicius CastroI guess it's a different approach. Getting the content legally, via download or just buying the physical media and doing this process is building your library. We, today, don't actually own any of this contents.
2
Apple User664963You can do this a lot cheaper, paying more just means it’s more future proof

Collegiate OBFCThe best time to start withholding your money from these companies was years ago. The 2nd best time is now. You don't need to be giving them your money. Just do without

Pixelah, makes sense. I use Plex because Samsungs OS (at least in my country) doesn't have an app for Jellyfin, and I don't feel like jailbreaking my TV

ElSegundoit's only illegal if they can track your packets. if paying isn't owning, puk them

jpvsocKilling a person is murder even "if they don't track you". Stealing content is still stealing. You may choose to do so but it doesn't make it any bit more legal.

J U D EThis is great! Do you mind doing a full video tutorial that covers all so that we can watch and follow steps? 😊
kennypowersofficialhow are you hiding your torrent traffic from your ISP? (Im an idiot)
leoAmazing setup! For someone wanting something more "beginner friendly" I'd say just get a cheap used pre built NAS+Drives, I only run Jellyfin and Tailscale VPN via Package Manager. Thats all, takes like 20min of setup and you got everything you need. I paid 600€ for a Pro grade 4 bay Synology with 48TB of WD Red (under 3000 hours in S.M.A.R.T.)
Observerat this rate, I'm just gonna watch shows on TikTok.
gyhcggfcccfActing like those services arent expanding their content year on year is just disingenuous
