    Plex is once again increasing the monthly price users must pay to stream their own media (if this is you, why haven’t you purchased a lifetime pass yet?)

    Better yet, why have you not migrated to Jellyfin. Why are you paying someone else to view your own stuff?

      The hard part about Jellyfin is that it requires your own domain and some more self-hosting knowledge that a hobbyist might not have yet.

      It’s not a super hard transition, but it took me a few months on/off to learn the basics of hosting a website from my house.

      I’m still trying to figure out headscale on a VPS so I can mask my home IP

        I have my own domains, but I do not use them for Jellyfin. I use Jellyfin on my lan or over my personal VPN.

          That means it can’t be shared (easily) with others. That’s the appeal of Plex and the reason why switching entirely to Jellyfin is not an easy thing to do.

        Give Netbird a shot. I set it up in like two hours. Much easier than my failed attempt at headscale+tailscale.

        Most people should be using a VPN and not exposing these things to the internet at large via proxies or port forwards.

          Right, but if you’re hosting Plex then you’ve likely shared it with friends/family. Jellyfin isn’t as easy to share.

      It looks like the educational website Kahoot. As a teacher, I hoped this was some open source version of it that I might more easily catch the cheating students in my classes.
