I’m a dum-dum and even I was able to set up a Jellyfin server 2 3 years ago and have been enjoying it ever since. I only fuck with local streaming, but I know you can set up a VPN and remote in and share it with family/friends that way.

Jellyfin has just worked for me, and I like that about it. I also really like not relying on some third party authentication server and paying $750 for the privilege.
