This is what I've been doing for the past couple years. I have a docker of Plex, emby, and jellyfin. Doesn't really make much more work for me to run them all simultaneously so why not.

What’s the perk of three? Different use-cases for yourself, people unable/unwilling to access?

Like if I set up jellyfin, I’d leave Plex going for the ease of use for a few home users who frankly I’m surprised remember it exists and is installed on their iPads.. but nonetheless occasionally watch movies on it.

Beyond my other users (this spurred me to check logs and I do have people using m Plex!!! 🥰), the jelly would mostly be for me, unless it has apps? And even then probably a handful would be willing to change.

But what about that third one, emby? What’s that do for you? I’ve not heard of it so I’m curious

Also how can those run in dockers? Aren’t those containers supposed to be, like, sandboxed or whatever? (I know nothing about docker but I guess I have to learn it for some of the things I want to do related indirectly to this, even tho I’m totally unprepared for that task…)

Like any other program. It's up to you what you put in said container. Or they could have separate containers.

That raises more questions than it answers for me, but I feel like an intro to docker course would probably solve some of that so I’m not going to bother asking. 😅

Thank you for shattering my perception ahead of time 😊 it’s been on my to-do list for a solid while but I’m not all that techie so it’s gunna be a bit yet I’m sure before I really understand that answer.
