I was running Plex, Jellyfin, Nginx, rtorrent with 3k torrents and few other containers and they were running on a very old machine with 4GB of RAM and only 2GB were really used.

No I don’t have issues and I already have different way to access it remotely.

I am just interested in the technical details of how it works.

Investigate what? That is a standard config and didn’t change anything. Your Raspberry Pi is maybe more powerful than my server. How big is your library?

user and PUID, PGID do the same thing and not all images support PUID and PGID. They tell docker to run the image using the user with those id. My user has ID 30000 and group 30002. This allows me to change files on my library with this user without causing permissions issues for jellyfin.

I thought that the specs are not ideal for Jellyfin as it get stuck at startup, and it takes 3h to do a full scan. My server has an AMD Athlon II 2 220 Processor, 4 GB of RAM, so I thought that maybe Jellyfin need more.

I saw that they are working on big refactoring to use EFCore instead of doing direct SQL queries. I actually was surprised when they were saying that the migration will take days for some, and you shouldn’t interrupt it.

Jellyfin has many advanced features compared to Plex, but the experience isn’t great for many. For example, Plex and Jellyfin allow you to match/identify your media. Jellyfin allow searching by IMDB/TMDB/… IDs, but Plex doesn’t (possible by hidden way). But Jellyfin doesn’t autofill the search and year fields, and Plex does. When you select a result, Plex instantly show the fetched details and does the rest in the background. Jellyfin will start rescanning the whole media or episodes, and you get a spinner until it finished checking all media/episodes (minutes later for me for some shows with many seasons). They are really small details but make the user experience not ideal.

It is really a standard config

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.7
    container_name: jellyfin
    user: 30000:30002
    environment:
      - PUID=30000
      - PGID=30002
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
    volumes:
      - /media/WD/tools/Jellyfin/config:/config
      - /media:/media
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: unless-stopped

The ridiculous thing is that many TV shows make it look as if it is not that expensive and it’s fully covered by insurance.

In Friends for example, Joey needed to only do one acting thing and get covered for anything and for a long time.

Yes it a low spec server but like I said Plex is running on it without any issues and it can even transcode.

I am using Ubuntu the latest LTS.

I started with docker install, first using the LinuxSever image and then the official image.

Now I tried the native install and will see tomorrow if it is still OK.

I am using Ubuntu.

The server has AMD Athlon II 2 220 Processor, 4GB of RAM.

But Plex is running on it without any issues and has no issues doing one transcode with the faster profile. I even ran plex on specs lower than this and was working without issues except of course for the transcoding.

Not sure about that because I can use it with WhatsApp.

That is a an Android feature. A user can select the media they want to share without giving full access to the media folder. It was introduced with Android 14.

Like abused wives can easily escape and do their life without repercussions. It isn’t a rule to favor abused wives.

You need to see the comments as many agree with him even some from Ukraine.

Android devices dominate in a lot of countries, especially Asian countries, where our growth in those regions in the last few years has boosted Android’s user base.

I think the decrease is mostly due to this.

So writers are like “we will write a sitcom about this poor family of 10. Let’s give them a big house to fit them all”. That is ridiculous.

I won’t continue debating with you. I am amazed at how are you trying to justify everything about the show. Actually you are like the ones I saw on the fan sub on Reddit.

There were many episodes where there were more than 6 people in I Love Lucy. I mentioned All in the Family because it was realistic and was showing people financially struggling even with two jobs. They lived in a house but it was small with one bathroom.

Even Seinfeld had a small apartment. Many other shows manage to show people living in small apartments. And even with rent control, it isn’t realistic at all.

So that is clearly not the real reason.

That’s completely not the reason. How other shows manage to show small apartments and poor people houses?

Showing regular people living in big apartment is more appealing to the public. Shows from the 70s or before were more realistic. Mary Tyler Moore was living in a small apartment and sleeping in the sofa despite having a regular job. In All in the family, they were financially struggling especially because of the 70s inflation. Lucy and her husband were living in a small apartment.

Things did change in the 80s and we started seeing families living in big houses with cars. Even Roseanne who normally depicted a working class family was living in a big house and could afford many things.

And Homicide. When I started watching it, I was surprised when some episodes ended but the investigation didn’t lead to anything and the cops didn’t really care.

In The Wire, I really liked when the cop found out the code used by dealers. He started saying “Those kids didn’t go to school so the code should be simple…”

Sometimes I ended up with +50 tabs because I just don’t close them. But when the computer restart and Firefox ask me to restore them or start a new session, I always go for a new session. And I never felt that I lost something.
