I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    is it possible to easily setup a way for your jellyfin server to be used outside of your house? For instance, if I wanted to let my grandfather use it with the rokus from his house, or if I wanted to leave the server at my house and still use it from college, could this be done fairly easily without too much trouble?

    Or would this be an issue legal wise or difficult to code/network somehow?

      What you are looking for is a VPN or to port forward Jellyfin. Not to be confused with a Commercial VPN. You want him to Virtually connect to your Private Network. Personally, I don’t trust port forwarding Jellyfin directly. So, I setup a wireguard VPN and port forwarded that. Then, connect remotely through the VPN to the local Jellyfin. Idk about Roku though. I cannot say wether they have a good wireguard app.
