  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.

        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

  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?

    Sharing it with people outside your house. Added hardships if behind CGNAT.

      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?

        With a fresh install of Plex you can still connect to it remotely…with no ports open. It will use Plex’s relay service to make the connection. That has limited bandwidth so it’s rarely anybody’s long term choice but it works right out of the box.

        If you do choose to open a port then Plex partnered with Let’s Encrypt and Digicert to setup and maintain all the certs for you. So at least your connections are encrypted provided you use one of the many apps that support secure connections.

        Is that the most secure way to run Plex? No. But it’s a couple steps in the right direction for basically zero effort on the server admin and users part.

        You might not like the centralized auth of Plex but I don’t have to manage user accounts/passwords for people and deal with distributing them. Just send an invite to their email, they set it all up, and I never need to know about it. They forgot a password?…I never need to know about it.
