From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server

I use Jellyfin because I like to have everything in docker containers and be able to always access the service via a browser. It works great on a PC and on my Android (where I have an app as well).

This makes it also easier to secure the service via a proxy.

Where Jellyfin is abysmally bad is Amazon Firestick. I tried to use it but it would always crash after some time, I gave up and am using VLC + SMB on the TV. This is not sexy at all but at least I can watch a movie.

I use Plex server in Docker, it works fine.

Unless you don’t want to use their online accounts and want to bridge. If your client ip is not on the same subnet as the server it doesn’t allow you to use local accounts (at least when I last tried years ago)
