Plex is once again increasing the monthly price users must pay to stream their own media (if this is you, why haven’t you purchased a lifetime pass yet?)
Better yet, why have you not migrated to Jellyfin. Why are you paying someone else to view your own stuff?
The hard part about Jellyfin is that it requires your own domain and some more self-hosting knowledge that a hobbyist might not have yet.
It’s not a super hard transition, but it took me a few months on/off to learn the basics of hosting a website from my house.
I’m still trying to figure out headscale on a VPS so I can mask my home IP
I have my own domains, but I do not use them for Jellyfin. I use Jellyfin on my lan or over my personal VPN.
That means it can’t be shared (easily) with others. That’s the appeal of Plex and the reason why switching entirely to Jellyfin is not an easy thing to do.
wg-easy. Makes Wireguard dead easy.
Exactly, I am not going to troubleshoot VPNs with my mother in law when they have an issue.
Most people should be using a VPN and not exposing these things to the internet at large via proxies or port forwards.
Right, but if you’re hosting Plex then you’ve likely shared it with friends/family. Jellyfin isn’t as easy to share.
Give Netbird a shot. I set it up in like two hours. Much easier than my failed attempt at headscale+tailscale.
It’s also pretty insecure so host over the web at your own risk.
Is it? I’ve heard it is fine as long as you are running a reverse proxy, using https, and following the conventional wisdom.
There are a lot of unsecured endpoints in the system, the devs know its an issue.

This looks really cool
What is that picture? The blogpost doesn’t elaborate on it…
It looks like the educational website Kahoot. As a teacher, I hoped this was some open source version of it that I might more easily catch the cheating students in my classes.
Razzia, formerly Rahoot. Self hostable.
Lol, seems like they had some trouble over trademarks or something

Looks like the razzia image, but somewhat hard to see on mobile
🤣 Its not working! 🤣
Works for me, dunno what to say.
Skill issue I think from my side.
