local cloudflare alternative

hi is there any local cloudflare alternative becourse from my reading it seems that that using it for jellyfin is against cloudflares TOS and i would like to get jellyfin to my domain but i dont wanna pay for it, so a loxal alternative would probably be my best bet, i also would prefer not to open any ports

If you don’t want to open any ports, then you will need to setup a VPN service. Tailscale is one of the easiest to use VPNs out there.

While I was initially skeptical about the pricing changes, the more I learned about it the more I was okay with it.
I think part of the initial problem was the talk of annual subscriptions, when in fact it’s much closer to paying for version upgrades. Their new standard licenses have come down in cost from the old perpetual licensing and the price of a version upgrade is only $36.

There’s no enshitification happening if the product hasn’t gotten any worse. It’s just a pricing change. In fact, if the pricing change does in fact lead to a better product then this is the complete opposite of enshitification.

Definitely agree they should be split up if possible. Octoprint and Home Assistant are both rather demanding on a Pi, particularly the Pi 3B.

I would however opt to run Pi-Hole on the Home Assistant device as there is a plugin built in for it, and Home Assistant is the kind of thing you would be more likely to leave on at all times.

Your direct play and Picture in Picture issues might be resolved if you enable “Use Native Video Player” in playback settings. That being said, Picture in Picture doesn’t always work properly for me.

How do you keep track of your media?

I've started collecting a lot of movies and tv-sjows for my jellyfin server, but I found it quite difficult to keep track of what I already have, what I want and if I have the subtitles and everything for it. What would you suggest to keep track of what is and isn't available on a jellyfin server?...

atomWood ,

While I would recommend the *arrs applications, Tiny Media Manager will do exactly what you’re looking for. The only downside is that if you want it to grab subtitles for you, then you have to purchase a yearly, but cheap, license.

I haven’t promoted anything illegal. The whole point of applications like Radarr and Sonarr is to manage a video library.

All existing licenses will stay lifetime. Basic and Plus will no longer be sold, but they will still be honoured.

What's a good piece of hardware to run a jellyfin server?

I'm wanting to set up my external Seagate drive with all my media on it to run a jellyfin server but I'm not sure which device to use. I'm thinking a raspberry pi but I'm not sure which one. From what I can tell from running the server on my laptop it is fairly CPU intensive for lower end systems...

atomWood ,

A Raspberry Pi will work as a Jellyfin server, but it will really struggle if it has to transcode any media.

If you want your Jellyfin server to be up and accessible at all times, I would suggest getting a second hand PC. I’m personally a fan of small form factor mini PCs. Anything with a 7th gen Intel processor or newer, with integrated graphics, will be able to hardware transcode anything but AV1.

This is a great update. I was surprised to find that server switching was much easier on iOS than it was on Android.

Cloudflare is also upping prices.
Since Cloudflare sells domains at cost, I expect domain prices have simply increased.
