Latest success Jellyfin rocks! (lemmy.world)

Hey Hosters!

Just wanted to share that I got Jellyfin installed and set up on my Windows 2022 Server, and it’s working great! I didn't even know there was a version for WIndows. How do you like that?

I know this is probably “the usual” for everyone here, but I’m genuinely excited that I managed to get it all running smoothly.

After getting the server up, I went through the basics (users/permissions, library paths, and making sure everything was reachable on the network) and it all just worked. The interface is super clean, playback is nice and responsive, and it feels like I’ve been missing out on this until now.

Huge thanks to the Jellyfin team and the community! This project is awesome!! If anyone is stuck, please don’t give up. keep poking at the configuration and it’ll pay off. Now I just need to spend some time organizing my libraries!

Happy Hosting!

How did you handle the reverse proxy in Windows for remote access?

[–] GatesMcBalmer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I didn't. I don't need remote access. We don't watch TV outside the house.

Wouldn't Kodi be better suited then? Jellyfin's strength is its ability to transcode

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 38 minutes ago

Well, you can just run a reverse proxy container with docker

Caddy runs on Windows so someone could use it for reverse proxy.
