I run it on my TrueNAS Scale server, very happy with it, works as expected

I use NetBird to access it from anywhere, and to share my Jellyfin server with my friends and family

WhiteHotaru OP ,

I didn’t know Netbird. Do you selfhost it as well?

unrushed233 ,

No, I've just been trying it out recently. I switched from Tailscale with a self-hosted Headscale server, because I prefer the open-source aspect of NetBird.

Good question, good to see how others do it.

Mine: A well specced debian server in the garage running a crapload of stuff, including arrs and Jellyfin with Jellyseer, all in docker containers. Playback via debian laptop or Windows desktop using the official apps, and the tv paired with an Amazon Fire dongle running the Jellyfin app. All works really well.

The only problem is my wife sometimes deletes an entire series instead of the series somehow. I honestly don't know how but I've had to download Young Sheldon for her four times now...

my wife sometimes deletes an entire series

Sounds like you need to take away her delete privileges.

digdilem ,

Not going to say you're wrong.

I’ve got a couple movies and TV shows hosted on my PC. When I eventually get a NAS for my business, I’ll host Jellyfin on a NAS

PC Specs:
EndeavourOS
Ryzen 5 3600
32GB RAM
GTX 1660TI

BritishJ ,

Keep business and personal separate. And make sure that you have encrypted backups for your business and an off site backup.

governorkeagan ,

That’s the plan.

A NAS case running Unraid, with Jellyfin in a docker container. All my music, movies and tv shows are on it.

Got mine in-house on an hpe dl360 gen 9 running in docker with 2 18tb drives for storing Linux ISO's :)

WhiteHotaru OP ,

That’s a lot of ISOs!

thagoat ,

I do enjoy my ISO's 😎🤣

Intel N100 Beelink box with 16GB of single channel RAM runs my Jellyfin server and Caddy. It's also hooked up to my home theater system directly so I can use Moonlight on it to stream my main gaming PC.

My storage is a 4-bay aluminum USB 3.0 external enclosure attached to an M1 Mac Mini running Asahi Linux (Arch BTW). The Mac mini runs my Arr stack and mergerfs on the external drives so I can load balance across them and scale it up or down as needed. So basically the Mac Mini acts as a NAS.

I use Jellyfin for movies, TV shows and music.
For music, I use Symfonium as a client on my android phone, as it feels the most feature rich, and has android auto integration.

Symphonium is also the best for listening to audiobooks in the car. It has a really comprehensive set of DSP options

Installed from the Arch repos on my home server.

Watch it through Firefox on our TV on a Radxa Rock 5B running Arch Linux ARM.

matcha_addict ,

Curious why arch for a server. How's your experience with it?

spacemanspiffy ,

Because I like it, I like having the AUR, and I have a few Arch machines so I put a shared pacman cache here.

As a server, no issues really. Most apps besides Jellyfin and a TVHeadend run in Docker.

I have a Arch Linux server running Jellyfin under my desk, attached to 2x 4To NAS HDD with smb shares on it for my wifes work so she can share between her pc and iphone, and i got the jellyfin app on my iphone and appletv so we can watch anything anywhere in the house whenever we like

I have a Debian VM that runs on a two node Proxmox cluster. The media is shared from an NFS share hosted on a Pi4 that has a USB drive attached.

The two nodes are new from AliExpress and have an N100 CPU, 16GB RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. They were £90 each.

A cheap setup but it works for me. It's really to replace Plex which has been the go to app for media around the home.

I'm running jellyfin docker container on my Synology. Works great, but I don't transcode. ... Which is another rabbit hole.

My setup is not recommended, honestly. Old gaming PC from about 14 years ago with a couple extra hard drives, thrown in the closet with stripped-down Windows 10 on an old SSD, desktop version of Jellyfin, and an external drive for backups. Not even running in a Docker container because the CMOS battery is dead and getting to it is way too much of a hassle on that particular motherboard, so virtualization defaults to off whenever it completely loses power. Which it unfortunately does on occasion like winter storms, or summer heat, or if the wind is blowing.

But hey, for the movies and shows we have on DVD/BD, as well as the music we've bought over the years, it does work for access from PCs and phones on the local network (Finamp + Jellyfin Media Player). I dabbled with IPTV for live TV replacement but found that only using totally free IPTV+metadata would take either much more work on no-virtualization Windows 10 than I'm willing to put up with, or have much more jank than my family is willing to put up with.

WhiteHotaru OP ,

I sometimes question the use of Jellyfin as streaming replacement. It only makes sense, if you have a huge DVD/BD collection you do not want to put into a dedicated player or if you pirate everything.

For music it makes more sense, because smartphones are great music players at home and on the road (and I love buying CDs).

To be fair, even in my family it's not a full streaming replacement. We have Discovery+, Nebula, and (free) YouTube. Live TV from the Roku player is the main thing I want to replace through IPTV, either Jellyfin or maybe Kodi, but both the metadata and functionality of free sources is a crapshoot. If I could replace the Roku live TV use with some inexpensive paid IPTV source, then I could easily switch to any streaming box brand, like ONN or some other generic Android TV.

My server is an old office PC my uni threw out (4th gen Intel i5) with 14GB of mismatched RAM they also threw out and like 3.5TB of HDDs and a 120GB SSD, I had laying around. I recently threw in a cheap, secondhand GTX 1050Ti for transcoding and tonemapping. The whole thing runs openmediavault (debian based server distro). I have Jellyfin running in docker.

For watching, I mostly use Infuse Pro on my AppleTV 4K. On mobile, I was using the Jellyfin App but since the update a little while ago, I’ve been testing swiftfin again.

I also know for sure that friends that have access have been watching via the AndroidTV app, WebOS App and various web browsers.

dingdongitsabear ,

nothing to share about my setup, but I've just checked and I haven't used finamp on my phone since november last year. reason - Innertune. works phenomenally on the shittiest data plan, haven't maxed it out once.

dodverngr ,

My potato server died a few months ago and since I'll be moving shortly I'm not rebuilding it right know. So I bought a simple intel nuc, slapped an old HDD inside and connected to the TV.

Jellyfin runs in the the background but I access it throght Kodi. Jellyfin is accessed directly only if my wife want to watch something from her study.
