They use the stock android interface. They’re (oversimplification but) basically android with all the proprietary and Google stuff removed.

Woah. This is a game changer. Thank you!

Thanks for this! I had downtime at work yesterday, and this post inspired me, so I drug out the sff pc I had lying around for this purpose, set it up with Ubuntu server and managed to get jellyfin set up in a docker container without too much trouble. Right now it’s local network only vs Plex and I’ll probably keep both up for now. Plex is running on a windows gaming desktop though, so it will be nice to turn that off more often and save some electricity when I don’t need it. How are you handling access outside the house? Port forwarding? Vpn to the home? I think today if I have the time I’ll look into portainer before moving on to sonarr. But, I have noticed much of my video files aren’t in the H.264 format that Jellyfin likes, which is causing playback issues/lag in Firefox. So I may also start looking into a way to start converting all my files instead. Thanks everyone for convincing me to get my stuff together!

Only Car lite here. I only own an ebike, but my partner owns a car, that we use for trips out of the city, mostly. Props for going car free in Seattle! The infrastructure there, depending on where you’re at, is pretty good from what I’ve seen. I’ve considered trying to take my bike up via amtrak next time I visit instead of driving. maybe someday.

I’ve been debating moving from my Plex setup without any lidarr/etc automations to jellyfin plus all of those things, but it seems fairly intimidating. How long did it take you to set it all up?
