You don’t need to do that with jellyfin either. It includes the website for convenience, but you can just disable it or completely remove it and have just the server.

I always recommend using your country’s state weather agency website. It will probably be the most accurate, and you can often get real time readings from the agency’s sensors around the country.
In my case, because I live in Spain, I use AEMET.
- Comment on Help choosing a good HDD for my home server? 3 weeks ago:
Be careful with WD reds and CMR/SMR. Even though every WD Red Plus should be CMR, WD is known for selling SMR drives marketed as CMR. The whole Red Plus line exists because, before that, the WD Reds were supposed to be CMR, but they started mixing them with SMR drives. People found out and lawsuits were filed, so WD’s answer was to say that the WD Red line didn’t guarantee CMR, and people needed to pay extra for the WD Red Plus line.
WD is forever off my list of trustworthy manufacturers. But there aren’t many options, and I understand that in these times it may be difficult to pass on a good offer. Read customer reviews and, upon arrival, make sure they’re CMR.
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 1 month ago:
So now there’s no way to buy Steam credit without a card?
It’s cool trying to stop scammers, but I feel like this move could hurt privacy.
- Comment on What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication? 1 month ago:
For sending files between a phone and a PC, I use KDE Connect.
For sending files between PCs, I use SSH.
Both are really simple and lightweight tools that normally come preinstalled, and you can use them with no configuration.
