I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn’t play. I also don’t need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I’ll be using other things for those (funkwhale for music, still looking into the books and comics ) So, which self hosted alternatives do I have for videos and books/comic books? I need things that only do that but don’t well. The video one needs to have a client I can install on a android device I have plugged ony tv
Have you tried installing Jellyfin as a docker container? The official image as well as the linuxserver.io’s image?
I tried docker, yes. I have to check if I used linuxserver.io image but I did use the official one for sure.
Plex and Emby are some alternatives, but these are closed-source solutions.
Aw heck, I’d prefer foss
The linux server image worked without issue for me.
You might have to let jellyfin finish scanning your stuff though. First time takes a bit.
