Indeed! There are many simple and quality ways to set it up, and users can pick anything they prefer. FOSS is dope like that.
I think the questions are more prominent because a wider audience of people are becoming more privacy conscious.
In my case, I haven’t had the advantage of going to school for any of this, so I have to pick up knowledge where I can. If there is a reliable tool available to accomplish my task, I’m more likely to use it than to pursue a more manual solution because even simple computing questions can be rabbit holes that result in hours of reading and learning.
The reason that I made this post is because your options are always limited by your awareness of available solutions, and I presumed there might be someone else out there who has struggled getting a VPN reliably bound to a service.
Nginx. I pronounced it N-Jinx.
I never in a million years would have guessed it was “Engine X”.
Huh…my preferences are literally the opposite of yours. History FTW!
Brazil is trialing Linux right now too.
Highly recommend. It’s hilarious.
Idk, Plex knows Jellyfin exists, and they know that their server users are experienced enough to make the switch if needed. Without the people running servers, they are just a shitty Netflix spinoff in an already over saturated market.
I think the most likely route that Plex will take is the one they have already started to—exploiting the non-server-running users to accidentally make use of the streaming and rental services. I’ve had total dolts in my sharing community who were logged out for a month and then asking me why Plex had adds all of a sudden.
I’m somewhat ok with this. Users who can’t tell the difference between being logged in and logged out are going to get what they get. If they’d just make library the default view over recommended again, we’d be totally square.
Are you using Nginx to make your app available on the web? If you are on a home internet connection, how confident are you that your ISP has given you a static IP?
Running Nginx and Tailscale to route traffic through a VPS with a static IP has been way more reliable for me than any attempt at static IP hosting from a home connection in the past. At $5-$15 per year, a VPS is cheaper than the hassle of troubleshooting with an ISP at home.
I thought we were avoiding political photos here. /s
