Enshittification continues.

    Due to all the enshittification of the streaming services, I decided to opt out of it all by selfhosting Jellyfin with all of my media on my NAS. Get to it from anywhere with tailscale.

      I did the same for a while but then I was on Holliday in Italy and it was painful trying to get the internet fast enough to stream my media over tailscale.

      So now instead, I just keep everything on a laptop running Kodi and if I’m going somewhere, the laptop goes too. No worrying about internet connectivity or bandwidth. Just content ready to go.

      I get that this doesn’t work for everyone’s use case. But I thought I’d share anyway.

        I dunno if jellyfin does it but I just sync shit with Plex to my phone. Works great. I don’t need to stream it. My progress is saved whether I stream or sync.

        The great thing about self hosted is you can just download your stuff. No “you haven’t been online in 3 days so you can’t watch this video on the plane” nonsense.

        Depends on your HW and line speeds, if you have somewhat slow speeds you need to transcode s lot and that will hot your system quite hard.

      That’s my same setup, it’s working great with the addition of sonarr, radar and jellyseerr to easily nab the files I want.

      Any recommendations on tailscale setup? I’ve wanted to do this but have been weary of opening it up to outside my local network. Currently running it all on proxmox.
