Most FOSS projects are barren? Huh I’m here to say it’s all very easy and requires no work. Seriously, you literally just install Jellyfin (or run it in Docker), set up nginx with certbot and make a port forward on your router. Zero maintenance at all. Any LLM can give you a complete step-by-step guide that takes 10 minutes to follow if you don’t know what you’re doing.

You are absolutely right about all of that, I did it exactly like that, had ChatGPT tell me what to do and done. I am not an IT person, but I still like messing with tech. But that’s more than 95% of people are willing to do, and that’s why people use plex. Takes literally a minute to set up and it just runs. That’s why people choose Apple. Simple and easy, little to no maintenance. That doesn’t make it a great product, but an accessible one, and that’s what counts for most people

I cannot understand how bad of an idea it is to expose something to the Internet when you don’t know what you’re doing. Jellyfin is not designed to be exposed directly. They have a number of outstanding security issues. You should really use a VPN to access your local network instead.
