Hello everyone!
I’ve had a homelab up for quite a while and would like to expand on that. I’m a major media person and I’m really wanting to put up a website that I can post movie reviews on.
It’ll be public, but really it’s only for my family/friends connected to my plex server. I’m constantly getting asked for recommendations and would like a centralized place they can look, and I can look back on upon a rewatch.
I’d really like to stay away from WordPress if at all possible - every time I’ve ever used WP, it always seems extremely slow after plug-ins are added and that’s really the only “template” I’ve seen.
Also, can you pull watch history from plex and display on a site? I’ve looked quite a bit for the movie Review page but haven’t really looked at the plex api. Really looking to pull watch history based on library/genre.
Currently set up with nginx proxy manager.
Thanks folks
Probably not a good idea to publicize the contents of your Plex server. And anyway, why not just use a forum or wiki?
Honestly I’m not super concerned about the contents being public.
As far as a forum/wiki, I’d like it to look like it was meant for this job, those would be a little more on the hefty side just for posting some images/text to.
I would build it myself but I’ve got a 4 month old. Not a ton of time to sit down in React.
I wouldn’t mess with react or other client side bling for this. Just keep it traditional. There are very light weight forum and wiki systems out there. Maybe Fossil ( fossil-scm.org ) could be restyled without too much pain. It uses about 2MB of ram.
