Finally got around to setting up a local Jellyfin server, then setup Tailscale to access it remotely while I'm out.
Setup was super easy โ way easier than I anticipated โ including the basic setup of Tailscale.

I need to do this. What guide did you use, if any?
Jellyfin's site docs were all I needed. Super straightforward and easy.
Same with Tailscale. I had a slight issue with remote connections, until I realized I was trying to connect to the wrong IP. ๐
Im such a dummy. I tried to set this up on my rpi4 with my media on a drive and i just could not get anything woking. I think i just dont properly understand any of it. It fel like every tutorial was just like "then follow the instructions!" Of what? Where? Same with plex. Id install...lit nothing happens. Media server shows no library. Cant connect to server. I dunno, maybe its cuz im on linux but did not feel straightforward at all
