One of a few other docker containers on VM via Proxmox on a cheap Chinese mini PC.

I’ve never liked Jobst. His “Hello you absolute legends” opener always rubbed me up the wrong way.

Of course. But if you managed to setup Plex then you’ve already shown you have willing to learn…

I main Jellyfin now. I still have Plex for one device that has no Jellyfin client available. But indeed they run side by side sharing the same media.

Worth doing as Plex will keep getting shitter

Me too. Docker isn’t hard if you use a compose file. It’s easy to read syntax.

Linux server.io has great documentation for their images.

I have Jellyfin and Plex running from the same virtual machine pointing at the same media. If it wasn’t for the one crappy TV I have in my house with no Jellyfin client, Plex would be gone.

It’s very much a WAN solution too. I use it to push my files to a Pi Zero W that’s 200 miles from my house. I use it as an off site store of my files. The Pi is connected as an untrusted device in Syncthing so that all files sit encrypted at rest.

All my media is shared from a Raspberry Pi 4 with a HDD attached to it via NFS. Jellyfin runs as a container on a cheap Chinese mini pc I got off AliExpress. I’ve not had any issues over the network. It even transcodes on a share of the Pi as my SSD that has Jellyfin on is too small for larger movies.

I used Plex for a long time and was very tempted by their lifetime plan. I tried Jellyfin but at the time it just wasn’t a patch on Plex. I continued with Plex but always had that itch to get away from closed source. I eventually tried Jellyfin again and whilst it’s definitely not as feature rich as Plex, it does what I need from it which is a central store of media that any TV in my house can use. I’ve even given a few friends a login so they can watch content.

I do love that it’s completely self hosted. I run it behind Caddy so it has a Let’s Encrypt certificate. All run in a Docker container with the media from an NFS share from a Pi4 with an external HDD.

That said, I still have Plex running as I have one Samsung TV and there’s no official Jellyfin client for it. Yes there’s some long winded developer way to get one on but I just can’t be bothered.

Caddy is awesome! I originally went for nginx proxy manager to manage my certs as it has a GUI. However, despite being text based, Caddy is so even easier to configure…

        email myemail@mydomain.net
}

jellyfin.mydomain.net {
        reverse_proxy 192.168.0.1:8096
}```


That's all there is to it. Caddy does the heavy lifting.

Ha. That’s my bad. I didn’t even read the firewall rules listing 22/SSH. I agree on not opening 22 to the world. It just invites bots throwing passwords at it.

I just read Minecraft in the original post which from reading runs from 25565 which I wouldn’t worry about. If OP needs 22 for admission I’d either whitelist it or use a VPN/Tailscale.

More effort than I would consider. I’d just allow all traffic incoming on that port. I’d only consider whitelist if someone was giving me grief. Even then that would be after blacklisting an IP wasn’t solving my problem.

I have a couple of services, including nginx (a website) that run though a Cloudflare Tunnel. No need to open up ports and certificates are automatically managed.

I also use ddclient to update my own personal domain with my internets dynamic IP (no need for a dynamic DNS provider). I have to do this as I host Jellyfin and Cloudflare don’t support streaming through their tunnels. So yes this is exposed to the internet. It does sit behind a caddy reverse proxy though.

I also run a wireguard VPN so that I can dial in when out the home. Im in Spain next week so can use that to get BBC iPlayer etc. The wireguard uses an address that is dynamically updated by ddclient (domain is hosted by Cloudflare)

Emails I don’t bother self hosting. I actually pay for simplelogin and send emails there via aliases. They then route to a single Proton email address.

Can’t wait to play this. Astros Playroom was the best game I’ve played on the PS5.

The PS5 has been a big disappointment for me. Certainly after the PS4 which was a huge success with so many good releases. The only games I’ve been playing on the PS5 are updated PS4 games.

Astros Playground is probably my.moat played game on the system. I will buy the new game at some point. The vast majority of games I’ve played are PS4 games that have been updated for the PS5.

The PS5 has been a disappointment for me. I’ve only purchased a handful of games. I got it off the back of the PS4 which had so many great games.

Wonder if it’s a region thing. Not there for me either (UK).

Let’s be honest. He doesn’t have the best history in terms of cheating on his wife. Once a cheat, always a cheat.

Not really helping you here. But when I started using Google Photos, I still manually downloaded files from my phone to local storage. I did this mainly to ensure I have the original copies of my photos and not some compressed image. Turns out that was a wise move as exporting photos from Google is a pretty damned awful experience.

I’ve configured my kids devices to use NextDNS, that way they are getting filtering no matter what network they use.

AdGuard does what I need internally, it’s just external is the issue. VPN’s are not a solution, my kids are old enough to know they can just disable it to work around it. They don’t know about the Private DNS option that I have configured on their devices… Yet
