Why Jellyfin?
Free, open-source, no subscription, no telemetry, no account required. Jellyfin serves my personal media library — music, series, and videos, from my own hardware without any third-party service deciding what features I get or when they change the pricing model.
How I Use It
Jellyfin runs on a dedicated node in my Proxmox homelab cluster, streaming to any device on my Tailscale network — laptop at home, phone in the car, or wherever I happen to be.
What it serves
- Music: personal music library streamed to Symfonium on my phone
- Series: TV shows organized and watchable from any device
- Videos: personal video collection with proper metadata and organization
- Remote access: available from anywhere through Tailscale without exposing ports to the internet
Status
Active: personal media server for music, series, and video streaming.
