Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!
lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 2 months agoThis is more about familiarity than difference in ease of use. I’ve used both, they are both super easy.

Some of it yes, the claim for example, but the rest is still pretty bad UX (and even that is stupid, I shouldn’t need a claim to watch locally), I’m an experienced self hosing person and I’m getting frustrated every step of the way, imagine someone who doesn’t know their way around docker or is not familiar with stuff… Jellyfin might be less polished as some claim, but setting it up is a breeze, never had to look at documentation to do it.

I set Plex up as an inexperienced selfhoster and it was easy.

I would bet that the problem is with Plex being inside docker. Might be one of those situations where being more experienced causes issues because I’m trying to do things “right” and not run the service on my server directly or with root or on network host mode.
But being inside a container causes these many issues I can’t even begin to imagine how it would be to get it to do more complex stuff like be accessible through Tailscale or being behind authorization.

Bullshit. Docker Plex is easy af. You calling yourself experienced is the real joke here
