Went there to update my password but got reminded what a horrible experience Plex is these days, so deleted my account instead.

    I'll probably get the lifetime pass after seeing how cumbersome setting up jellyfin is.

    Installing jellyfin is as easy as setting up any self hosted thing though... Just use docker compose if you want simplicity.

    And secure remote access for me and my friends and family?

    Wireguard is also very simple to setup. This would allow you to share other services you host in the future in a secure way as well.

    Your mom's Tizen TV doesn't have a Wireguard or Tailscale client, so you're going to be the person configuring her router, or setting up a Pi or something, as well as now being the designated tech support.

    Its not hard to setup a proxy and use a full SSL cert. A little bit more complex but much simpler for the rest of the family.

    You suggested Wireguard, not me. I'm pointing out how it isn't a great solution to the problem that was presented; you can safely access it remotely with a VPN, but then that isn't very useful for sharing with others, and you can expose the service to the internet at large, but then you're opening yourself to risk.

    Personally, I found it as easy as Plex. I started my self hosting journey with Plex and Minecraft servers on a windows pc. Now I'm launching docker containers over ssh and lxc containers in proxmox for Jellyfin. Minecraft is still the hardest thing to host lol

    I'm actually considering hosting a Luanti / "MineTest" server for this experience, since my wife lost her Minecraft account / key thingy since the time we played in beta ages ago haha.

    I wonder if it's any easier to host or not. 🤔

    It takes fairly little effort to set up Jellyfin. I think there's scripts these days that set up the entire arr stack for you in a matter of minutes.

    They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc

    Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.
