Movie Review Site Opinions - eviltoast

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

    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.
