Kodi doesn't have a server feature like plex does where you can serve media to other devices. A more direct alternative would be jellyfin, which even works well with kodi as the media player.
What does Kodi do, then, if you can't host your media on it?
It's a media center, you can play your local files or you can use add-ons like the official jellyfin addon and connect to any jellyfin server.
IIRC didn't it start out as XBMC, a media center you put onto the original Xbox?
