  • I tried Jellyfin for a few days now and have to say I was absolutely displeased by the stability of the clients (except browser) and sloweness.

    Figured the bottleneck was somewhere else so decided to just try Emby with a 1-m pass. Emby works absolutely beautifully. No issues AT ALL regarding speed, transcoding, clients, or anything. I click the video a second later it’s up. Even through a VPN. Jellyfin frustrated me sometimes locally via LAN.

    However I still want to give Jellyfin a shot. Have you experienced similar?

    • both installed in docker on the same host with recommended but where applicable same config.

















  • What I’m doing is using a dedicated VPN Gateway container. The instances running delicate services have a static default route to the GW-container.

    This is an extra step, but allows me add easily route other services or clients or even whole networks through my VPN without additional setup or specialized containers bundling both.

    Wanna use it on the phone? Change the gateway address. Wanna use it from my Linux machine? Add a static default route. Etc…

    Works flawlessly!
