Yeah, that's why I finally ditched it, (I said this in another reply) but it was intended to be something the family could figure out if I wasn't available or something did happen to me. There's no way they could figure all of that out, doubly so with everything that felt "hackish" just to get Home Assistant and Jellyfin running.
I'd rather them have a usable experience now, that I setup with the least amount of hacks and cloud services. I know it's kinda weird and an unhappy reason, but it also (hopefully) will make my life easier.
