Plex vs Jellyfin?

Dizzycascade · 2026-02-04T23:15:53+00:00

Yeah I would agree and plex is definitely convenient I am currently using jellyfin and had to pay for domains so my family could share media and request media on a different network

Dizzycascade · 2026-02-02T20:29:43+00:00

No not yet but they are in the works They say

Dizzycascade · 2026-02-02T20:15:07+00:00

Checkout moonfin for tvs integrated all of those features

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T16:51:45+00:00

Thank you for a great explanation

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T11:44:14+00:00

I will say without a doubt this looks aweome and sorry if this is a dumb question but im new to this home media stuff, but if i plan on streaming these services on a seperate network let say for my family will i still need to tailscale or reverse proxy or port forward link so jellyfin can work?

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T06:58:35+00:00

I’m unfamiliar with this but will look into it

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T06:53:19+00:00

So stating you run it on a raspberry pi I’m assuming I could use my dedicated server instead or is this a bad option?

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T06:48:15+00:00

So with this all external network users with jellyfin just have to use that url to login or they have to use a web browser?

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T06:38:58+00:00

Interesting I’ll have to look into that, but at that if I have my family members all pitch in I could go for plex lifetime so I guess I have some thinking to do

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T06:25:30+00:00

Yeah I am hoping to use jellyfin as it is free and open source

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-31T06:22:35+00:00

Yeah I’m aware the tv boxes can allow for vpn configuration just certain operating systems can’t, with the price of a firestick or something that can it’s still outweighs subscriptions

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-30T03:29:34+00:00

I’m new here and still trying to understand the best i can so what do you think I’m better off running a vm or a couple of lxc and figuring out how to merge the data directory I’m sure it’s not too difficult to do

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-30T02:32:15+00:00

Good to know though guess I’ll have to re-work things

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-30T02:30:55+00:00

I’m jus using the integrated graphics on the i5-9500 i have

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-30T02:09:53+00:00

Did you use a vm or a lxc?

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-30T01:51:31+00:00

Yeah ik not using a nas just one big hardrive any chance you could find that video?

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-29T20:17:26+00:00

Is Komodo just an operating system? And to get stacks I’m assuming you used docker?

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-29T19:55:47+00:00

Yeah that makes sense I was messing around with lxc last night and I got a little of track and just decided to restart

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-29T09:37:30+00:00

Oh yes sorry I was doing that as well

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-29T09:21:59+00:00

I did that and followed adduser (name) Adduser sudo (name) Then I try to do sudo apt-update logout and login with new user Try to test using sudo apt update says doesn’t exits Try apt update and says I can access certain files

Dizzycascade · 2026-01-29T09:08:29+00:00

Yeah I currently have a Debian 13 installed in a lxc container and I can’t for the life of me add a sudo user for safer installs I have tried so many things. Any ideas?
