I just finished setting up my own Jellyfin server. Lately I’ve been getting into using open source software and this weekend I thought it would be nice to self host on an old thinkpad I had from my college days. There were a few roadblocks I encountered, but ultimately I got it working. Now with the Finamp/Jellyfin app I can have a Spotify/Netflix-like experience completely free (well minus the domain name cost). I highly recommend it if you have been thinking about doing it for a while like I was. I’m so glad we have open source software like Lemmy and Jellyfin available to us.

    I don’t think it is, there are differences in their terms for these tunnels and other services. I don’t recall the specifics, but I did look it up before I set up the same thing.

    I think there was something with the tunnel not actually running on the CDN.

      Give it time. I was very careful to setup my tunnel for media streaming like those guides, disabling any sort of caching, etc. and they killed it 2 months ago.

      Ended up just getting a cheap simple VPS and running Pangolin myself instead.

        Good to know. If I’m using it, it’s through a VPN to my local network, but I do have it set up at family members’ houses through the external link too.
