I just finished setting up my own Jellyfin server. Lately I’ve been getting into using open source software and this weekend I thought it would be nice to self host on an old thinkpad I had from my college days. There were a few roadblocks I encountered, but ultimately I got it working. Now with the Finamp/Jellyfin app I can have a Spotify/Netflix-like experience completely free (well minus the domain name cost). I highly recommend it if you have been thinking about doing it for a while like I was. I’m so glad we have open source software like Lemmy and Jellyfin available to us.
Edit: Thanks to everyone who suggested not using Cloudflare tunnels. I’m sure they would have got me eventually. I am now successfully running Jellyfin with Pangolin and couldn’t be happier.


I currently run mine through Tailscale, but plan on getting a domain this year and then handing out access to my family. I’ve got traefik mostly set up, but would also like to add in authelia as well. I’ve also got navidrome for music, audiobookshelf for audiobooks, mealie for recipes, calibre for books, bookstack for a wiki and immich for photos but I haven’t actually started imported anything yet on those 2, though both do work. I think I also would like to run vaultwarden
Before I get a domain I should maybe just try out headscale and see how that goes
