I went to the Jellyfin landing page, copy pasted and ran literally one command, clicked a button to point it at my media folders and then I was done.
What isn’t easy?
Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data

Uhhh… UpNp or port forwarding is the same way both Plex and Jellyfin work?
I don’t know what makes Jellyfin less secure since they both work the same way for this as far as I can tell…
Can you be more specific about what makes Jellyfin less secure when it comes to UpNp/port forwarding?
I use samba (file sharing) and vlc.

If you are advanced enough to run a docker image with Plex, you can do the same with Jellyfin

What is a docker? Plex is just a few clicks.

My first time fucjing around with Plex did NOT include docker. I googled what docker was like 9 times over the course of stupid few months cause I just didnt understand it. Now I do, and I run it via a docker stack but very very few beginners are gonna go for docker.

Then how did you use Plex? Did you even RTFM?
Nutteman@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Since I started using it on windows via an exe, no I did not hahahaha

You can run plexserver as a service outside of docker. That’s how I ran it years ago, before I got comfortable with docker.

You don’t even have to use docker for Jellyfin, you can install the server as a regular program
