Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.

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!

Thanks!

It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data. For the thinkpad, I'll look into the options when I have a bit more time. For now I took the battery out. Thanks for the tip!

Selfhosted Family Email and Calendar (lemmy.world)
 

Hello friends!

My first attempt at a selfhosting project is up and running.

My goal was to make a private email and calendar system for my family. As it is private, as in we only email each other, I don't have to worry about delivery blocks or spam. The system needs to support 12 users. Turned out it was easier than I though it would be!

Here is my stack:

Right now we are using the native android calendar app but I would love suggestions for a better calendar app.

Happy Hosting!

Windows is what I already but I'm also curious to learn linux and bsd at some point.

Is your next post going to be in a baking comm asking people if they have considered just buying a loaf at the grocery? Its an important life lesson to get early that its OK that other people have different tastes and priorities than you do.
