    Yes, not everyone. My grandmother would struggle setting up a VPN, for example.

    However, a community member of the selfhosted community is perfectly capable of reading a manual and learning the software.

    That’s how you become tech literate in the first place, and you’re already on that path if you’re commenting/reading here.

      that’s a weird take. your grandmother doesn’t need to set up a VPN. It’s not like this is where they would get stuck, they would have problems much sooner with running their own Jellyfin. that’s why you are hosting it for them, and why you go there and set the VPN up yourself.

      Agreed, was more so referring to others. I apologize if it seemed like I was referring to myself

      I’m already well and truly deep into this, myself. Two Proxmox nodes running the *Arr stack and Jellyfin in LXC containers. Bare metal TrueNAS, with scheduled LTO backups every two weeks. A few other bits and bobs, like some game servers and home automation for family.

      Will need to re-map everything eventually, it’s kind of grown out of hand
