I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don’t love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won’t go to the site - annoying.
I use Tailscale already to access my server infra remotely, but honestly I don’t see this as a viable option for my non-technical friends and family. Plus, I need to support all kinds of devices like smart tvs. How do you fine folks deal with this issue?
I don’t think that holds true anymore nowadays.
They added so much bloat to Plex that I constantly got asked where is X and do I need to pay for Y? When they started mixing online content with local libraries in all apps things got annoying because my older family members could not differentiate between them. Since there’s no server setting for this but only app settings I had to disable them for every device they use. Rinse and repeat every few months when they added another shitty service nobody asked for.
This and that I couldn’t access my library without internet connection were the things that drove me to Jellyfin.
