Comment on How do I securely host Jellyfin? (Part 2)

smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

I’m actually surprised nobody suggested simply using the Pi with OpenWrt as my own router. Though, that would make it hard to host Jellyfin.

A brief internet search shows that surprisingly, hosting Jellyfin on OpenWRT should work… No idea how well though. Come to think of it, having OpenWRT on the pi might make it a lot easier to configure, with graphical settings available and so on.

Could you explain Wireguard vs. Tailscale in this scenario?

I’ve never used tailscale, I’m afraid. Normally I would say: just use whatever seems easier to set up on your device/network; however, note that tailscale needs a “coordinate server”. No actual traffic ever goes through it, it just facilitates key exchanges and the like (from what I understand), but regardless, it’s a server outside your control which is involved in some way. You can selfhost this server, but that is additional work, of course…

Thank you all so much for your help! This is likely the solution I will go with, combined with another one, so again thank you so much!

Glad I could help, after being so unhelpful yesterday :)

P.S. I don’t care if you wrap an ethernet cord around her finger, get going!

Eh… Marriage is not really common in either of our families. We agreed to go sign the papers if there ever is a tax reason, lol. Sorry if that’s a bit unromantic :D Nice rings though ^^

I still find it hilarious that since dd-wrt and OpenWrt are just… Linux, you could install Super Mario Bros on there. I checked, nobody seems to have tried.

Ah, that make sense. Is Wireguard P2P?

Don’t beat yourself up, you were fine. Because I’m big on privacy, when I ask for help I have a bad habit of leaving out the “why” behind my choices, so it’s understandable that people weren’t happy with what I needed.

I need to go make a petition to raise taxes then! /s

You both are perfect for each other, so don’t screw it up!

  Oh, definitely, but there are varying degrees of difficulty, esp. with what kinds of packages / package management you have available :D

  Yes, in the sense that each node/device is a peer. But the way I’d suggest you configure it in your case is more akin to a client/server setup - your devices forward all traffic to the “server”, but it never takes initiative to talk “back” to them, and they do not attempt to communicate with each other. Unless you have a separate usecase for that, of course.
