What is your set up? How do you use Jellyfin?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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'm using Proxmox with a NixOS LXC for Jellyfin/*arr. The media is stored on a single btrfs HDD, because high uptime (RAID) isn't necessary for me and it's media I can simply redownload.

I'm looking into switching to NixOS on bare metal, because I don't need the UI of proxmox and most other features.

Symphonium is great for music, even though it's closed source and paid. I'm mostly using Spotify though.

Findroid is an awesome native Android app for watching tv/movies, altough it doesn't support transcoding.
