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've setup an old laptop with linux mint running jellyfin and arr stack in docker containers.

When I run it the Internet in other devices in the network becomes virtually unusable after about 10 mins of the containers having run.

I don't really know what to do, so I wanted to ask for advice.

If you're using QBittorrent, you can throttle upload/download speeds in the settings. I believe it wants speeds set in kibibytes (KiB) so you'll need to convert your megabit internet speeds to your desired kibibyte limit (say maybe 50% or less of your available bandwidth).

Wow, I totally forgot I can do this. Thanks

If it does not help, try limiting the maximum number of active connections in qbittorrent.
