Movies on your own jellyfin server getting streamed to your devices

Yeah, "physical" in that the bits live under my control. Not like a separate disc per movie.

Is something like this difficult to set up?

Is something like this difficult to set up?

I grabbed a Linux Mint install, and followed this guide to install Plex on it

It is a "desktop" install, really I know you don't NEED a GUI yadayada, but it was very easy and got my foot in the door of Linux. It's worked well for me, faster than the older Windows install

Depends on your current skill level and what equipment you have.

If you run Linux already it is dead easy, especially if you have a server.

I know you can host Plex on a Windows laptop so I'm sure you can probably host jellyfin as well.

It also depends on how you want to set it up. At its most basic, it's pretty easy. Download Plex or jellyfin then point it to the files you want to host and you are flying.

On windows it's also a simple procedure.

Nah, just run the installer, go to the config page and point it at your media folders. You get a Netflix type UI in the browser.

There's even an Android TV app to access it remotely.

I’m having trouble with allowing Jellyfin access to my external drive on Ubuntu. Any help here?
