Credits: 5€ [Donate] 03-14-2023, 09:29 AM (This post was last modified: 03-14-2023, 09:40 AM by rust.) I can code and I have tons of movies, but I don't know how to host my website on the clearnet without getting taking down. I know they can take it down if they really want to. But there are pirate movie websites which operate for years. How do they do it? I don't want to make money from it. I just want to have a nice website with high resolution movies (good movies) which are free.
Can I host it from my home server or is this the dumbest question of all times?
Help me out. Love
I just know that selfhosting something illegal from your server is not a good option.

It does an exceptional job with Movies out of the box and a decent job with TV shows if you format the folders and files correctly. You can host it on your NAS at home (plex comes with most) and give people outside of your house access.

Then yes, you could set up your own server and not worry about cease and desist letters. Upload speed would be terrible but you could provide movies to a few friends.
I would not trust a VPN to secure my connection for such a use case. Movie studios have good lawyers and you will pay for the rest of your life if they prove you distributed 1000 movies.
Honestly what you are trying to do is cute but not worth the hassle. Huge risk no reward. Provide a coding tutorial so people can get a job to pay for movies. Much better use of your time.
