Secure isn’t a binary. Depending on your threat model, using Plex is impossible to use securely!

I’m not familiar with the trash guide. I set mine up with swizzin community edition.

Edit: either way though, what is the real risk? Someone streams your media without your permission?

I mean, that’s not great, but it’s also not very concerning to me. Like the risk of someone doing that, and the potential harm resulting seems minimal to me.

It’s definitely easy, and the secure part is debatable.

Some of those aren’t great, but I don’t consider any of them critical in terms of risk. I understand that others may feel differently.

I have a jellyfin server set up that you access like this:

https://my.servername/jellyfin

Username and password is all you need aside from that. Apps for most platforms or access in a web browser.

I’ve got a bunch of friends accessing my jellyfin server. It has clients for most devices now.

I’m not sure what you mean. On my computer, I have to unlock the database every so often (you can set how long) with my master password. On my phone I unlock it with my fingerprint. The method of syncing the database is irrelevant.

I use Nextcloud myself, but if people don’t want to host a server or fuck with syncthing, they can sync it however they want as long as they use a strong enough master password/phrase (which they should be anyway.).

Sync however you want. Syncthing, Nextcloud, Dropbox, Gdrive etc.

Gotcha, didn’t realize it was a blog post haha. As far as my personal experience, I never have to touch it. Once I did a dist-upgrade and broke it, but fixed it with a backup.

I’m rusty since it’s been awhile, but I don’t understand why you need two VPSs. I have a similar setup just using one. It was mainly to get around the ISP NAT. My DNS points to the VPS, and it forwards traffic to/from my home server over the WG connection with IPtables rules.

Fuuuck no. I won’t even do therapy over zoom or whatever.

Just like me fr

Land it in Tehran, they have technicians there who can help.

I don’t run my *arr stack on Yunohost, but I’m sure it will make them all accessible ootb. You will probably need to point them to one another where necessary from within their web config. For example, sonarr will need to know where your torrent client is. So in your sonarr config you’ll tell it that qbittorrent (or whatever) is at localhost:1243 (or whatever port qbittorrent is running on.

You can install Yunohost on your home server. I’ve been running it that way on various machines for years. It’s just built on Debian Linux. I love it, and find it way easier than Docker. That said, you will be limited to the apps available (have a look at their catalog) in comparison to Docker. If you vibe with Docker then power to you. It has some good features. One more option I’d like to mention, specifically for the *arr stack/media server is Swizzin Community Edition. It’s another non-Docker, super easy setup. Also, don’t be fooled: you can install it locally too :)

If I don’t understand the spoken language, then I have no problem with subtitles. Having subtitles on in the same language as the audio? Drives me crazy.

I’ve had that happen though rarely. In those cases it’s been easy to manually merge the one or two entries if necessary.

I had a server that would lose internet connectivity approximately every 36 hours. Could never figure out why. Ended up running a script every 2 min or so to check connectivity. If it failed, then it would trigger a reboot.
