Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I don't have time.
Jellyfin was one of the easiest things to set up though.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I set up Jellyfin like a month ago and it took about two minutes.
Great; now stream remotely. And setup an app on an AppleTV.
I see plenty of comments suggesting it's not the set it and forget it that Plex is.
I have set up both. Honestly Jellyfin was MUCH more easy to setup because Plex requires a very specific way to setup the network otherwise it craps its pants and refuses to work on LAN.
But after figuring out those pain points, both are set and forget. The main differences are privacy concerns vs wide access outside of LAN and on more devices.
Great; post your guide/instructions showing how easy it was.
The fact that Plex does not even have settings for hardware encoding, besides on/off, tells me that's bullshit
Maybe but the process is really annoying. I have to backup my 4tb library, make the switch, if it doesnt work I have to revert.
I don't have a spare 6tb drive either so i would need to buy one.
Besides, i already have a plex lifetime membership so most of the new changes do not affect me.
I could just risk it and do the upgrade raw, but I would be pretty upset if I lost my data due to the switch.
What? Just point Plex or Jellyfin at the same media library
