Went there to update my password but got reminded what a horrible experience Plex is these days, so deleted my account instead.
Wdym it’s like a couple of clicks
They’re probably just using some shit browser or something. I had no issues either.
:D
Same lol, using jellyfin now instead
I’ll probably get the lifetime pass after seeing how cumbersome setting up jellyfin is.
Jellyfin setup is fairly effortless. They have a very long way to catch up on apps though. That’s all that’s keeping me in plex.
Installing jellyfin is as easy as setting up any self hosted thing though… Just use docker compose if you want simplicity.
And secure remote access for me and my friends and family?
Wireguard is also very simple to setup. This would allow you to share other services you host in the future in a secure way as well.
Your mom’s Tizen TV doesn’t have a Wireguard or Tailscale client, so you’re going to be the person configuring her router, or setting up a Pi or something, as well as now being the designated tech support.
Its not hard to setup a proxy and use a full SSL cert. A little bit more complex but much simpler for the rest of the family.
You suggested Wireguard, not me. I’m pointing out how it isn’t a great solution to the problem that was presented; you can safely access it remotely with a VPN, but then that isn’t very useful for sharing with others, and you can expose the service to the internet at large, but then you’re opening yourself to risk.
Yes that’s why I suggested a alternative. Although wireguard is simpler to setup initially. Using proxy’s and exposing your service directly is simpler for the end user. Both are not difficult to do.
It takes fairly little effort to set up Jellyfin. I think there’s scripts these days that set up the entire arr stack for you in a matter of minutes.
I have jellyfin setup. What do you mean the entire arr stack?
They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc
Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.
Personally it’s quite nice. I just request what I want to watch and the system grabs it automatically. It can download from Usenet too.
Cool! I’ll try to look into it. Thank you!
