Hi, I’m not really sure how I would search for this online, so I’d appreciate some pointers.

I’m looking for ways to selfhost porn on my local network, so I can access it via different devices. I have the folloing things in mind, but these are not neccesarily hard requirements:

  • Webinterface: For compatibility with most devices, without requiring a special client software
  • Running on Synology NAS / Docker
  • Support for Pictures, Videos, Gifs
  • Presented as page-less scroll wall (similar to scrolller.com)
  • Content should be filterable by tags, instead of displaying static folders/albums/type
    • Complex filters would be nice, e.g. (tag1 & tag2) | (tag3 & tag4)
    • Option to tag content on-the-go from the client side would make things easier

As far as I know, most gallery utilities don’t support the last top point. That’s something that mostly makes sense for porn only (why would I want do do this for my holiday pictures instead of chronological?), so that’s why I’m specifically asking for that.

I think Stash should cover most of your points, except for the page-less scroll: https://github.com/stashapp/stash The only other software I know for this is Porn Vault: https://gitlab.com/porn-vault/porn-vault

I’m definitely going to check stash, and I think porn vault is worth a try too, thanks

I recommend using your main Plex instance and just putting it in a separate library. It is exciting because you know eventually you will broadcast your kinky porn to all your friends and family you just do not know when. It really makes you feel alive.

Have you thought about using something like jellyfin? I run both plex and jellyfin at home for videos, for normal and porn vids respectively. Jellyfin lets me put stuff in categories, but I’ve not done much with the searching portion, so I can’t help there. Has support for images, might support gifs too, idk.

Ah yes, Jellyfin is something only recently came across (it’s pretty new anyway, right?). I made a mental note to check it out (not necesarily for porn), but haven’t done that yet. Thanks for the note

You’re welcome!

I don’t know how new it is, as I’ve been running it for a while now, but it’s pretty good as a video host. I run it through docker and the only issue I’ve run into is when I lose connection to my NAS I lose the db until I restart the container, and it keeps all the watch/collection info once that’s restored.

@online @selfhosted I have to say this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone ask this

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !selfhosted@lemmy.world/u/online) [@selfhosted](https://lemmy.world
