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 have been using CloudFlare tunnel to stream Plex, Jellyfin, and now Emby (of the three, I prefer Emby for now) to a couple of family members, and I haven’t been pinged yet. I will look into Tailscale as an alternative or backup route though, just in case.
