That will keep you busy for a full year.

What are you talking about. First time I set it up, had it running on my local network in less than 5 minutes. 5 more minutes for external (granted, already had the infrastructure for that in place).

Then maybe 20min going through the settings to personalize my account? And maybe another 20min looking if there are any plugins I wanted to use.

It's true, the setup with docker is easy and reliable. However, sorting and taking your media takes very long.

Not even docker, I just pulled it from the aur, lol.

And yeah, that's fair. Though not really Jellyfins fault if it's not sorted already. Same goes for Plex.

I don't think it's a year to setup the software. Rather a year to load it lol. I've spent probably close to 4 years loading content into my Plex server and I don't see any end in sight.

It still takes time to download things, data only moves so fast and not everyones internet is the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My point was more that you can automate all of that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And that doesn't change my point because even automated it takes time.

People pull shit out of their asses to feel superior about things they don’t actually know anything about.
