It is easier than you think.

I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?

I wouldn’t even think about charging anyone for anything until you get it all setup and dialed in with backups, etc and are sure you know how to keep the service running.

Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.

How so? if I compromise a containerized app I get all the data that app has access to.

From a security standpoint, each and every container running actually increases the potential attack surface.

Keeping containers up to date for security and bugfixes is just as important as OS packages.

If you are going to store important data I would get a new drive. Either replace the internal or attach an external.

Also make backups.

Its a personal style choice.

With a blank line before the ‘while’ and another after the ‘done’ its a nice little easy to identify block. I don’t know how the ‘while’ would look like its not a part of that block.

A midline semicolon just looks ugly to me so I don’t do it unless it is the only way to make a statement work.

No the opposite. I think more shorter lines makes it easier to read than fewer longer lines.

It just looks weird to me to stick a semicolon into the middle of a line when a compound command isn’t actually needed.

I feel exactly the opposite.

while true do stuff done

looks much more clean to me.

Yes totally a personalstyle choice. To me, using a semicolon to save a line looks more ugly ; then ;)

My wife and I hardly ever watch TV outside the home. Certainly not with our phones. The only time is when we travel However she does use tailscale daily. That was my point, that tailscale is easy for non-tech people. Sorry if that is confusing.

No shit. Is that not exactly what I have been saying over and over?

My first comment in this thread says clearly that if you want to run a pirate tv service for other people then you’ll want something other than Jellyfin.

Where did I disagree with you?

I’ve repeatedly pointed out that Jellyfin is great for a self-hosted home media server. If you use it as intended then its security is not an issue.

Its not for running an internet tv service for others.

I don’t really understand why this causes some people to go off on a rant about how hard it is to explain a vpn to their grandmother. That’s not something I’ve ever suggested.

Thats the concise help text to keep it short and easy to read.

The first line in the GNU Bash manual section on loop constructs says “Note that wherever a ‘;’ appears in the description of a command’s syntax, it may be replaced with one or more newlines.”

You want to run an internet tv service for your MIL then do it. Thats just not want Jellyfin is for. Its a home media server.

Is this that hard to understand?

Plex clearly scans your media collection and does upload the metadata and they can add more data collection any time they want.

Privacy won’t matter if a major studio catches wind of this type of vulnerability and decides to start scanning for jellyfin instances. The subpoenas will come shortly after.

How are they going to scan a server on my network thats behind my firewall with nothing open to the internet?

Serious question, why use a semicolon to put do and then on the end of the previous line?

Especially when do/done are the open and close control directives for a block.

Don’t you think bash looks much cleaner when you use it how it was designed?

Jellyfin is a home media server. it is great for that use case. It is easy to setup and use. Most importantly its not sending data about everything we watch to some company.

Stick to plex if you want to run a free internet tv service for your cousin and their kids and whoever else and you aren’t concerned with their or your privacy.

I’m into self-hosting because data privacy is my primary concern.

My wife has no problem starting the tailscale app and then starting the jelkyfin app. Its really that simple.

She also uses the tailscale exit node I run whenever she is on a public wifi. Its really a well designed simple to use app.
