.NET 8 Standalone 50% Smaller On Linux
Jellyfin is great for movies & shows. As an anecdote, it's not so good for music if you're a collector. I personally use Navidrome for that[0].
Anyway, Sonarr[1] makes use of .NET, too. Very reliable software, in my experience.

Building a digital music collection in 2023
Please don't reencode your entire collection to "save space", or use git for version control.
Put your lossless files on a server as a source-of-truth (with a regular cold backup somewhere else) and install a streaming server, like Navidrome[1], which will allow you to transcode on-the-fly to all of your devices. This is how you build a true "digital music collection": so that you won't regret it 5 years from now, when the site you bought your flac's from closed down/erased your files, leaving you solely with the reencoded mp3/opus files you kept, unable to move to better formats as they progress.

Server-side alternative to SoundCloud?
Could use Navidrome, you can create logins for friends.

Unorthodox Things to Self Host?
You should check out Navidrome. I've been using it for music alongside Jellyfin for other media. It supports scrobbling to multiple endpoints (including Last.FM of course), and supports the subsonic API for clients. I use D-Sub on Android.

How do you handle multiple identically named albums from the same artist?
Slowdive and Weather Report have two self-titled releases a piece, Slowdive from 1990 and 2017, Weather Report from 1971 and 1982. Given that Navidrome is someone limited in how it indexes releases (if I understand this correctly), this is somewhat of an issue.
There’s a pending PR that treats albums with different release dates as different albums, which would solve this: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/pull/2162

Any way to stream my nearly 2TB library from my iPhone?
If you want to stream from your Mac, I recommend Navidrome. It has both iOS clients and a web front-end. You'd need to have the Mac running. Unless you explore offline cache via client.

Linus Tech Tips next video is about Plex vs. Jellyfin. Have a look
JellyCon appears to work just fine. Jellyfin for Kodi is suffering from an upstream Python bug if you're running Python 3.11.0 that causes it to crash, but there's nothing we can do until they push updates out. issue.

Questioning on the development of jellyfin
Jellyfin-Kodi - "thick" Kodi addon. syncs metadata from the JF server into Kodi's local database for a native Kodi feel.

Almost imperceptible microstutterings on Firestick 4K Max with Jellyfin app (but not when same videos are played via Kodi)
Jellyfin for Kodi - This addon syncs metadata from selected Jellyfin libraries into the local Kodi database. This has the effect of making interacting with it feel very much like vanilla Kodi with local media (shows up under Movies/TV Shows on the home screen by default, virtually no delay, etc). However, it also tends to consume the database and not share well, so if you have local media or something else that interacts with the database directly, you'll have conflicts and it won't be happy. The sync process can take some extra time on Kodi startup if you don't leave it running 24/7, but it's mostly in the background while Kodi is running.
-
Kodi plugin stalled?
The first factor is that for an extended period of time, the Jellyfin for Kodi was hard crashing Kodi and I couldn't actually run it to test any changes. This didn't completely stop me from doing stuff, but it certainly made it an order of magnitude harder to do so. Even more fun, now that issue has gone away for me, but one of the other team members has reported it's started happening to them. I can't find the cause, I can only assume it's a python version incompatibility or namespace collision or just fucking witchcraft, who knows. This obviously puts a big damper on how productive I can be with it.
