  Yeah, welcome to the easy, fast, cheap conundrum.

  If you’re willing to do a bit of learning and asking the community for help if you get a little stuck, you’ve got a free solution, if not, which is perfectly okay mind you, then Plex is your solution and you have to decide how much you’re willing to pay.

    I’m going to be going the free solution route, been trying to find a cheap laptop to turn into my server right now. Do you mind if I reach out about it?

      Yeah, I have a docker compose yaml script you can baseline of off and help walk you through.

  Just put it behind tailscale and use the IP. Doing this for a two years now with weekly anime watch together with my friends. Not elegant but enough.
