Heh, Jellyfin is above Plex. Nice. And it would be interesting to know how that survey conducted. Too many countries missing.
Yeah I don’t remember seeing this posted.
It was posted on some community maybe two months ago. I’m not sure which one.
This post was the first I heard of it too. I would have liked to have been counted.
Announced on their blog and social media channels.
Too many countries missing.
You saw “Other participating countries with fewer than 10 responses”, which is clickable?
Honduran here. Didn’t know this survey happened, would have loved to get my country in there!
Wow, only 44 women and 25 other selfhosting, vs 1,726 males. That seems extreme.
And while I knew Germany has a strong selfhosting culture, I did not expect us to reach 2nd with as many users as UK (#3) and Canada (#4) combined.
Also surprised that a 5th of selfhosters don’t work in a technical field.
- Option A or Option B?
Yes!
Well, yes, I do prefer manual or automatic updates. No updates is lame ;)
“No”: I am doing it without preferring it…
:-)
Germany is one of the biggest countries for reddit too, so I’m not surprised that this is also true for lemmy.
We are not usually that far ahead of the UK (if even, depending on the sub there were even more UK participants), and certainly not higher than UK and Canada combined ;)
You’re right, I just looked up the numbers. Depending on the statistic, Germany isn’t even in the top 10.
The women + other to men ratio is a bit lower than I’d expect but roughly (very roughly) in line with what I see at work (tech field). Still sad to see this being such a male dominated field.
It’s still surprisingly low. At the local university around 20% of computer science students are women.
It’s probably this combined with the overall lower amount of women on internet forums compared to men.
I really hope this changes as it’s always better to have a more diverse group of people.
Even when I studied C.Sc almost two decades ago, we had a higher percentage of women.

Very interesting to read. A lot of this is not really surprising like Docker being much higher than bare metal installations.
However, I’m surprised Caddy wasn’t higher. While I use nginx I keep hearing good things about Caddy.

I wish I could avoid docker, but many projects don’t even come with bare metal installations anymore :(

Same, I use and love it, but even Traefik is higher.

Podman?
Same thing with a different color ;)
I can understand avoiding Docker, Inc software, but not an aversion to containers. Why do you prefer baremetal over containerization?
Everything is too abstract and annoying. I do like containers, LXCs under Proxmox are amazing, they feel like VMs and installing software works just like installing on metal.
With Docker, simple things like looking at logs, using a shared DB, backups, are all more involved, everything is different from normal.
edit: incomplete sentence fixed
Better dependency control. I strongly prefer software that only depends on the stuff I can get from the package manager. This lowers the chance of supply chain attacks. Doesn’t prevent them, but I expect repo maintiners to do a better job looking at packages, than a developer who just puts another
pip/gem/npm installin a dockerfile.Also if something is only available in a container, it sort of screams “this code is such a mess, we don’t even know a simple way to run it” to me.

If I may ask; why?

What surprised me was the amount of Android users. I guess self-hosters are predisposed to tinkering in general perhaps?
I guess it’s pretty normal: the once that self host don’t like walled gardens!
The Global Marketshare of mobile Operating Systems is very similar to the values from the survey. The conclusion probably still makes some sense because most responses came from the United States
Jellyfin FTW
Love seeing Proxmox so high on the host OS list.
Just curious: why?
I never tried proxmox that’s why I’m asking :)
Debian foundation, built-in ZFS, decent web GUI, clusterable – all in all, a very good VMWare replacement.
Can I use Proxmox on generic hardware that will run Linux? I was unfamiliar with it but I am intrigued once I went to the website.
Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws
I used to run it on an old PC I got for free from a school made circa 2007 with a core 2 duo and 2gb of RAM and it ran remarkably well for such an old machine.
Probably. It runs on Debian. The Proxmox part is really just a management layer.
