    Plex requires a third party account, therefore not selfhosted.

      That’s a very narrow definition of self hosting. Do you also not consider it self hosting if you use a cloud provider VPS? It relies on a 3rd party so I’d love to see the gymnastics that keep stuff on a VPS as self hosted but not Plex. If you don’t consider things on a VPS as self hosted then I’m not sure what to say other than I disagree.

      The identity service is not self hosted then. But the rest of Plex literally is. You can self host Gitea and use a third party service like openID for authentication too if you want to. Just because you self host some things doesn’t mean you HAVE to self host EVERYTHING
