goodbye plex

after almost 15yrs my plex server is no more. jellyfin behind nginx with authentik is running very nicely.
What is virsh?

i’d consider that all a good thing, but i can also see how it’s more work
they’re supposed to be stateless because it’s easier to manage, upgrade, etc… if you don’t want that, you can just use load/save/commit (or import/export: can’t remember off the top of my head which is which) and ignore volumes: it amounts to the same thing… there’s also buildpack rebase so you can swap out the base container and keep your top level changes for quick version upgrades that are super simple to roll back
I've never worked with buildpack, so that's interesting

Same.
The time it takes me to write a single function in Python is the same as writing a whole Bash-script using nano.
Also I initially set up my homelab using Docker in a VM on Proxmox. Totally useless abstraction, but I never found the time and patience to migrate the VM to bare metal.Not really useless, it's an extra layer of management (a good thing). The Proxmox system can be nearly static while giving you external level management of the OS that manages the containers.
I have a 3 server Proxmox cluster running various VMs doing different things. Some of those VMs are my container systems.
Besides, you can run containers directly on Proxmox itself.
-
With respect to the media, you can mount the volume as read only, preventing Jellyfin from accidentally wiping your underlying content.
or just change the folder ownership to whatever user you use in the container, but don't give them write access. that's how I do it so I can still edit my media as root.

Didn't that already happen? Or am I misremembering?
Mostly not yet. They did restrict the bandwidth on relay, but anyone with half a brain can open a port and that still allows apps to direct connect without relay. Honestly I wish could just force it to never relay since randomly my iPad will use relay even when I’m on the same network but that’s more because the new iOS app since the rewrite is dogshit.
Lifetime pass since 2012 here.

I just wanna get rid of Plex so bad but jellyfin isn't going to work for my grandma....

command-line virtual machine manager

I’ve heard jellyfin has a lot of security issues
The biggest known stuff I saw on their GitHub is that a number of the exposed service URLs under the hood don't require auth. So, it's open-source with known requirements, you can tell easily from the outside that it's running, and you can cause it to activate a LOT of packages without logging in. That's a zero-day in any package that can be passed a payload away from disaster.
AS far as TVOS, I'm kinda surprised swiftfin doesn't service you.
Yeah… that’s a non-starter for me. Not gonna risk my entire home lab when Plex doesn’t have any of that risk.
Also, running in Docker is fantastic but I’ve found Docker to be unstable at times depending on the version.

Backups? I have an automatic job running every night.
Nice. You you restore often?

My 67 year old Mother has been using Jellyfin for years via Chromecast. Change the TV input to Chromecast and pull up the Jellyfin app. And that's it. She never leaves Jellyfin and the Chromecast is never shut off, even if the TV is.
It's amazing to me that you fanboys pretend like Plex is easy to use but Jellyfin is somehow not. It's generally the exact same interface.

Because application development is expensive, and they're open source--not funded by corporate interest like Plex. What exactly about that is difficult to understand?

Wouldn’t containers make more sense for some of these rather than full blown VMs?

Updating immich brings excitement into my life
I've had mine on latest for about a year and I haven't noticed any issues... I have a cron job that pulls it every night too
-
I want to leave too, but I really like PlexAmp for my music streaming. And no, Finamp doesn't work nearly as well or look as nice.
Finamp is good for android and has a flatpak

Oh, Plex has the risk. A vulnerability in Plex is how LastPass lost all their source code. A vulnerability in Tautulli which he had ported outside surfaced his auth token, then he was able to use the auth token to get into Plex and they were able to hit an rce vulnerability and pull the entire git repo the guy had locally.
The key difference is Plex at least has a security team and their name on the line with their investors.

You can run them concurrently and let grandma continue to use plex.

What is virsh?
It is the command line interface for libvirt/qemu/kvm on Linux. I usually just use virt-manager remotely via SSH to create and manage my VMs, but virsh can be handy as well.
-

Whenever I screw something up or something goes sideways. Or when I'm migrating from one host to another.

Right? Jellyfin is awesome
