  • jellyfin-server-freebsd

    jellyfin-server component for freebsd

  • 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

  • Emby

    Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device.

  • I wouldn't use Jellyfin for a project of this scale, but rather its commercial and better supported alternative, Emby. Jellyfin is actually an offshoot of it.

  • 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.
