  I just moved to jellyfin instead of using Plex on my NAS, and I’m so glad that I did.

    Bluh. I installed both but went with plex because it was a super easy setup. I’ll take another look at jellyfin.

    Also question: can I access stuff remotely via phone like with the plex app without any additional configuration?

      Not without additional configuration. You’ll need to forward jellyfins port in your router and get a dynamic DNS address. That’s not hard to setup though and there are good free dyndns providers like duckdns.

        Don’t expose Jellyfin to the internet

        What if I’m using my pi hole with a static DNS address?

      Tailscale is a great option for this if your user count is low (1-3).

        I prefer ZeroTier but both work.

      Not built into jellyfin but you can use net bird or tail scale to access jellyfin from anywhere you have those apps without exposing jellyfin to the public

      there is a very easy to set up alternative using nordvpn (not free) + meshnet.
