jellyfin-server-freebsd VS jfa-go

On the server side, I'd actually recommend TrueNAS Core in a ZFS RAID-z2 to allow for two drive failures. https://github.com/Thefrank/jellyfin-server-freebsd/blob/main/Installation_TrueNAS_GUI.md

Look at the troubleshooting section of this guide for the plugin, it might be helpful.

I used the "Advanced" section of this guide.

I can't speak with first hand experience on the TrueNAS Core issue. But it took me 10 seconds and the first Google result to find this: https://github.com/Thefrank/jellyfin-server-freebsd

Seen this post? https://github.com/hrfee/jfa-go/issues/141 he added Google smtp support to the unstable build a while ago and works fine. Not sure he ever added it to the stable build.

Look into jfa-go. I run it on the side and it hard-integrates into Jellyfin and adds a lot of account management stuff and the group/policy specific config you're mentioning

It is a bit tedious if you don’t do it every time you make a new user. You can do some mass editing with jfa-go, but I don’t know the details because I’ve never used it before.

You can create different accounts for each person, like profiles and so... And there's even a project (albeit abandoned as per their GitHub) that lets you have a sign up page. I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for

I also recommend trying jfa-go for managing Jellyfin users. Allows you to create a template user and kinda tie things together if you attach an email. Then, as the other reply said, use Jellyseerr (which is 10x faster than Ombi) and your account woes disappear...mostly...

maybe you can work with https://github.com/hrfee/jfa-go to make it better?

jfa-go is really good, and has a lot of the same functionality. It is what I have been using

Jfa-GO

A similar tool for Jellyfin is jfa-go.
