I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the “one-time payment” for every device? If so, the plex subscription might be worth it. Is there any other major benefit to having a plex subscription?
I haven't used Plex but Jellyfin is as easy as throwing this in Docker:
--- version: "2.1" services: jellyfin: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest container_name: jellyfin environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/UTC - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=192.168.0.5 #optional volumes: - /path/to/library:/config - /path/to/tvseries:/data/tvshows - /path/to/movies:/data/movies ports: - 8096:8096 - 8920:8920 #optional - 7359:7359/udp #optional - 1900:1900/udp #optional restart: unless-stopped
(from linuxserver.io)
If you like Ansible and docker, check out saltbox. It’s a great project and if they don’t have what you need, it’s in community. They also use authelia sso. I’ve contributed to their community repo.
