Just like title. I remember there is a very detailed guide for setup a Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr for streaming from everywhere in my house. But I can’t find it anymore.
If anyone has a guide and share it, I would be appreciate.
Step 1 - Dont. Step 2 - Install Jellyfin
What’s so great about jellyfin anyways? I have a lifetime plex pass so I’d be a waste of my money if I stopped using plex
This article covers it in depth.

It’s a different answer for someone already invested and paid up for life on plex though than it is for someone looking to do their first install.
I noticed jellyfin doesn’t have mobilesync, does that mean I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff away from home on my phone for example?
Nothing if you’re already set up in Plex and your server isn’t in a data center.
Some reason I read this as one sentence. Haha. I think it’s because it didn’t make a line break on Sync.
C/Plex on Lemmy.ee has a bunch of nice guides I wrote up and curated. I had to drop back from modding due to a major life event, but I’d be glad to answer any questions you have.
Best of luck 👍🏻
Just curious. Why Plex, and not Jellyfin?
my personal excuse is that I have a Samsung TV and there’s no Jellyfin app yet on the app store (I don’t want to side load)
I didn’t follow any single guide, but the following got me through my installation:
I used Dockstarter, since I am relatively unfamiliar with Docker. If you haven’t heard of it, it is essentially a GUI script that helps you with directories, ownership, and settings involved with a large selection of Docker containers. It tends to focus on the linuxserver io releases.

I like qBittorrent, and this particular image worked best with my VPN (AirVPN): Dockstarter: qBittorrentVPN. The linked support forum was helpful figuring out a couple of OpenVPN specific issues I had.
The Trash Guides are useful for setting up the directory trees.
There’s also a list of suggested Plex server settings on that site.
