Plex has better security, federates and shares with other plex servers and generally is less hands-on for transcoding.

But, I don’t use it. I like Jellyfin. It’s free and while it may lack a few features, it isn’t worse by any measure.

A lot of people that run Plex have a Jellyfin container on standby, or they’ll use Plex for friends and family and use JF at home.

Oh no, Chinese hackers know I only like the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons!

They would, I suppose, were my Jellyfin available to anyone living outside of my own state via geoblocking. You can’t even connect to it from the country I host the proxy from, not that they’d do anything if they could, all of the data shared is read-only.

I would’ve just let my setup be open, but, like you said, most of us with the technical knowledge of hosting a media server know better.

I disabled and removed Ubuntu’s caddy before using xcaddy, then remade caddy.service and wrote up a small script to rebuild and update it when I need. I may automate it down the line.

You have done a good deed this day. Thank you very much!
