Hi! I am an embedded systems guy so this is new territory for me. I want to be able to host my own userbase somewhere, mainly I just want to figure out how they work. But all i can find are closed solutions that have some amount of pricing or are obscured. I also feel like it'd be wrong to re-write something like this myself. I've tried googling around a bit but keep getting similar results so I am assuming I am asking the wrong question. What I want: Ideally some kind of dockerized setup where a user can navigate to a website to create an account, which I can then query through php or some other API. Stuff like password reset or stripe would be nice but is secondary as that can most likely be added another way. I found stuff like [usernbase](https://userbase.com/) which seems interesting and even includes something like subscriptions, but I'd like to self host it and not rely on something like the AWS. Ideally I want to get OAUTH2.0 to work as well, to learn how exactly it works. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a ~~beamer~~ projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of 'always on' machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though something like popcorn time would also be nice, though that's also something that I would only use behind a vpn for obvious reasons. I have a pi5 or and some older NUCs hanging around that run well with Ubuntu. I know that something like kodi does not play nice with Netflix (iirc because of drm). Should I use the pi? Or better an Ubuntu and do the power management best I can myself? What would you guys say is a good way to try this out? Edit: TIL I thought beamer is a word that German borrows from English, so I assumed it's the same. Nope, in German 'beamer' has very weird roots (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videoprojektor) so Germany stole an English word 'beam' but it meant project... Weird
