jfa-go VS dim

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.

Dim is simple media server You can look at. Dim

Someone recently told me about this one, too. https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim

Anyway, there is a growing number of potential competitors such as dim and Olaris Media Server but as of right now there isn't an alternative that I would consider to be equal to plex, however I think we're getting close, it might be another year maybe two before we see any real competition, it mostly depends on how fast the alternatives can be developed.

I've been amassing a library which I've exposed to some family members via Tailscale

Dim (https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim) is also a decent shout.

From Jellyfin to Olaris and even DIM, there is a rise in media server options, one day soon Plex will have a serious competitor and I can see a lot of people, myself included, moving to one of these competitors.
