What software are you using to self host and serve your library?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Jellyfin. I was previously just using minidlna, but Jellyfin has an app for our TV and looks much nicer than the basic interface dlna offers.

I'm running it on an old PC running Linux, and it was pretty easy to set up.

Excellent choice. My jellyfin server is great, there are buggy things but I'm committed to the foss lifestyle

What are you using as a firewall?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just what comes with my Linux distribution: firewalld. It seems to work well.

Don't know about OP, but Plex works great! Get a Synology NAS and run your Plex server on that

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Plex is pretty commercialized these days and I don't doubt they're likely selling your data.

Yeah, the server isn't FOSS, so I'm not bothering. Jellyfin is FOSS and gets the job done.
