How do you play/stream media from your server during offline hours? (slrpnk.net)

Hi there!

Wondering what types of setup people have that allow them to, while the internet is down, still watch/stream media from their servers. I have a stacked Jellyfin library that, and would like to see this feature/setup in my own house. My Unraid server is on the other side of the house from where the living room is. Is there actually a sane way to achieve this?

How do you not do that? It's all in your local network, how would it not work offline..?

I have everything connected over Tailscale, and strictly only use IPs delegated through this system. So i realise now that I have to step away from that if I want to make it work locally :P

Talescale proper gives you an external dependency (and a lot of security risk), but the underlying technology (wireguard) does not have the same limitation. You should just deploy wireguard yourself; it's not as scary as it sounds.

Do you by any chance faces a guide on how to get that running?

I just built my own automation around their official documentation; it's fantastic.
