JellyFin from a Plex user's perspective

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PleX

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • docker-swag

    Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in Certbot (Let's Encrypt) client. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.

  • Honestly, it's pretty easy to setup an automated service to monitor, update DynDNS when IP changes and even generate and renew a SSL certs to secure WAN access. All free. https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag

  • intro-skipper

    Discontinued Fingerprint audio to automatically detect and skip intro sequences in Jellyfin

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pms-wiki

    The aim is to share knowledge and information about building an open-source media server.

  • Unraid has a lot of useful home server features and is relatively easy to get going. I think the price is reasonable for what you get. Depending on your experience level, there is a potentially steep learning curve to a DIY solution that includes MergerFS, which is just one piece of the DIY media server puzzle. My journey started with unraid (many, many years ago!) --> Synology --> DIY with Debian. It's very satisfying to have full control over everything with most things being open source but it's not for everyone. I would suggest taking a look at Perfect Media Server if you're interested in making that jump

  • dim

    Dim, a media manager fueled by dark forces.

  • 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.
