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.

Been running one for 2 years and it has been rock solid. Easily the most used self-hosted app for me.
I'm kind of kicking myself for not trying this sooner. I had so many (mostly unused) steaming subs I was wasting money on. They all gradually got worse, started introducing more ads, etc..
I've already cancelled all of them except one now, and as soon as I've made a list of all the things I watch there, I'm dropping it, too.
Look out for an option to receive all data they have stored on you. It might take a few days until they have your collection ready but you will receive a nice machine readable data set of what you've watched. It may require some post-processing depending on how crappy their internal data model is. Did this for Netflix and the result was very workable.
