Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

    I’m curious, just checked out their site.

    I’m a little alarmed at needing to modify SSL and port forward and all that shit. My experiences haven’t been great with port forwarding in the past.

    In short jelly fin doesn’t seem as easy as you are all making it out to be.

      That’s only if you want to watch it outside your home network, and either way I would recommend not just opening a port to the world like that. I’d say to use Tailscale (which is trivially easy to install) for remote viewing.

      It does definitely require a bit more work, especially because Plex does things like authentication and network access for you, but that’s exactly why all of this drama got kicked up in the first place. Plex doesn’t want to get into legal troubles, however unlikely that may be, for providing access to whatever content people are hosting. It isn’t true self-hosting.

      True self-hosting requires work and a small amount of technical knowledge, but IMHO it’s worth it for the freedom, privacy, and control.

          Jellyfin also supports UPnP, but you really shouldn’t be exposing the raw ports to the public anyways.

          Ideally, you’d setup Jellyfin and a reverse proxy like SWAG that handles the SSL stuff for you.

            Thanks, I just realized what community I was in lol. Stumbled in here from the everything tab, so now I understand the technical stuff!

            I’ll stick around here a while you’ll have me!

              Haha, welcome! Always good to have new people come in and potentially start their self-hosting journey. It can be quite fun if you have the time and interest.

              Welcome! Consider a VPN if you need remote access, unless you plan to share it publicly with a lot of people. It’s a bit more work, but safer than directly exposing your PC to the internet.

                  In this case, it would be a VPN hosted on your home server/router or a VPS. A commercial VPN wouldn’t help you here, although you can use it in combination.

          A well-configured network that follows security best practices should always have UPnP disabled.
