  • Setting up the server to be externally accessible was easy to me since I have lots of experience hosting stuff both from home and from VPSs. Although not as easy as with Plex of course, which will even automatically forward the ports for you if you have Upnp enabled in your router.

    It’s the clients that are the issue. They are not as easy to use for less technologically inclined people, my dad already struggled with the switch from Netflix to Plex. And for many of my users there isn’t even a Jellyfin app available, like for older Samsung smart TVs for example

    I host a plex server with at 90TB library for my family and friends, which are about 50 users atm. Jellyfin just isn’t idiot-proof enough that it can replace Plex for me, I don’t want to play tech support for all the users that can’t get the client working on their devices








  • Well, the original post (as in the image) is about locking yourself out of a remote server by changing a firewall rule, thus needing to drive to the server to access it locally.

    By using wireguard to tunnel into the router, you can remotely enter the LAN, thus bypassing the firewall, as if you were accessing the server locally.

    Well, I have my server running in my parents basement, because they have fiber, and I don’t.

    It’s not quite a 500km drive, but still a long enough distance for this scenario to be a major inconvenience.

    But since I have wireguard running on their router though this specific scenario is not something that could happen to me


  • Yes. I run PopOS and Hackintosh on my Thinkpad, use the new M4 Mac Mini as my main desktop (with hopes of Asahi Linux support in the future), and run unRAID on my completely overpowered Ryzen 5900x NAS, where I have a Win10 LTSC VM for the rare occasion I need to run software that only runs on x86 Windows.

    I would prefer to only use Linux if I could, but MacOS is very competent and far superior to Windows in my opinion. I have never had any issues accessing my unRAID shares on it
