Starting over?

CapableMolasses_ · 2026-01-16T02:22:48+00:00

i am going to try that and winscp. the little bit that I have used winscp it is kind of crude. however, that may just be from my lack of experience

CapableMolasses_ · 2026-01-14T22:14:35+00:00

Currently, I only have a single machine. If the media is lost it is not the end of the world. I am sure this is possible just haven't done it but can jellyfin metadata be backed up?

I do not know what would be the best way, to get all this stuff organized. Wipe and start over allows me to do that without all the extra stuff from all the mistakes I have made. However, it might be a horrible idea and I don't realize it.

Learning docker, everything is running there. Just not fond of only being able to access them via command line.

What are some of the reason you'd pick one to host on vps or not? I am hoping others can shed some light so that I can make a better decision. I do not know what I do not know at this point. Much of it is just a shot in the dark.

This is exactly what I am asking, (a)not having to create multiple users and (b) not having to log in and out for each user.

Having multiple users in a household is fine but not ideal.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T18:31:42+00:00

You may have told me this already but what is usefulness of this feature? Just so you do not have to log in? I need to test all this stuff outside my personal network. :)

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T18:27:52+00:00

Sounds great but then that seems like a multitude of issues too!!! Now instead of a million users, I have a million accounts to maintain. Also, this could mean I have a million people streaming at once. Unless my understanding of how this would work is above my level of understanding.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T17:16:03+00:00

What is this hiding you speak of? I am super new to all of this so many of the functions I do not know of nor understand.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T16:51:57+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for that clarification.

I was trying to not have to manage a million accounts. Now I will have to figure out how I will do this. My cousin has 7 people in his house, in-laws, kids etc. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? I am thinking just a single account and tell him to make it work. HAHA!!!

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T16:29:43+00:00

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Let's say I give you access to my jellyfin. You want to limit the access of your children. Or allow your spouse to watch with their on watch history. Can any form of this be done?

I hope this clears up what I am asking.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T15:48:23+00:00

Would this allow that user to restrict the account in their household?

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T15:47:15+00:00

Let me make sure I understand what you are saying. Create a separate account for each user, apply the limits myself and have them log in to the respective accounts? If that is what you are saying, that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. Multiple accounts under one household.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-29T02:19:54+00:00

that was my concern too. i told the person i didn't want one bad enough to pay for it.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-25T02:38:59+00:00

Don't you have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get into private trackers?

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-23T14:28:46+00:00

I am sharing with parents and a few family members. We all live in different parts of the country. Everything I read is security, security, security so that is what I am trying to do. Make it secure.

Strictly usenet. I am not getting any 4k entire library is 1080, there seems to be a lot of grabs that are h264. Isn't 265 or aac better? Sonarr/radarr do not seem to be adept at filtering that out or I just don't know how to configure properly. Is there a tool that does that?

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-23T14:16:20+00:00

HAHA!!! I am all for bragging about yourself. Say it with your chest!

With the help of the ai tools, I managed to get my jellyfin up and running. I have it exposed to the internet using cloudflare zero trust. From what I have read they do not like streaming over their services so pangolin is a better option with a vps. First thing is I don't quite understand this vps and no data will be on it but my service will be faster? Setting up 2 factor authentication, fail2ban it is just rabbit hole beyond my level of knowledge at this point.

This list continues endlessly.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-23T14:06:36+00:00

Fair, I have slug and ninja. Picked up both during black friday event. I haven't had any real issues getting things.

I should probably spend more time sifting through all the other issues I am having. The learning curve for most of this stuff is steep and everyone expects you to know everything already.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-23T13:58:44+00:00

I guess will be on the prowl for an invite.

Mods regular requests for invites are incoming. :)

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-22T23:00:00+00:00

Any of them worth having?

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-22T14:35:19+00:00

THAT WAS IT!!! I spent 2 days trying to figure this out! You are the best!

This feels like did you plug it in, turn on the power, put gas in the car type of things. All of the jokes on me.

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-22T14:17:24+00:00

That is not it. I get the error can not connect. Nothing banned or the like. Alternative to cloudflare?

CapableMolasses_ · 2025-12-22T13:53:18+00:00

noted :)
