I got a Synology NAS for my children’s photos and wanted my music to be available in our LAN as well. Jellyfin looked good and is open source so I gave it a try. I am very happy with Finamp as a mobile app to play and sync my library.
I use Jellyfin for movies, TV shows and music. For music, I use Symfonium as a client on my android phone, as it feels the most feature rich, and has android auto integration.
Symphonium is also the best for listening to audiobooks in the car. It has a really comprehensive set of DSP options
OMG, thats a lot of things to connect to. installing Symfonium now to have a look
I’m running jellyfin docker container on my Synology. Works great, but I don’t transcode. … Which is another rabbit hole.
Installed from the Arch repos on my home server.
Watch it through Firefox on our TV on a Radxa Rock 5B running Arch Linux ARM.
Curious why arch for a server. How’s your experience with it?
Because I like it, I like having the AUR, and I have a few Arch machines so I put a shared pacman cache here.
As a server, no issues really. Most apps besides Jellyfin and a TVHeadend run in Docker.
I run jellyfin on a kubernetes cluster which accesses my NAS via NFS.
I run it on my Debian server that uses my 15 TB RAID5 array as storage. (When I built it, 15 TB drives were a dream…now I have a 12 TB drive in my desktop computer that serves as backup to the array.)
I mainly serve it out to the client on our DirectTV streaming device. Works fine, other than I wish the intro skip plugin would be able to give me the option to skip on that client (the only way it works on the Android client is to have it skip automatically).
I’ve got a couple movies and TV shows hosted on my PC. When I eventually get a NAS for my business, I’ll host Jellyfin on a NAS
PC Specs: EndeavourOS Ryzen 5 3600 32GB RAM GTX 1660TI
Keep business and personal separate. And make sure that you have encrypted backups for your business and an off site backup.
That’s the plan.
My potato server died a few months ago and since I’ll be moving shortly I’m not rebuilding it right know. So I bought a simple intel nuc, slapped an old HDD inside and connected to the TV.
Jellyfin runs in the the background but I access it throght Kodi. Jellyfin is accessed directly only if my wife want to watch something from her study.
nothing to share about my setup, but I’ve just checked and I haven’t used finamp on my phone since november last year. reason - Innertune. works phenomenally on the shittiest data plan, haven’t maxed it out once.
My server is an old office PC my uni threw out (4th gen Intel i5) with 14GB of mismatched RAM they also threw out and like 3.5TB of HDDs and a 120GB SSD, I had laying around. I recently threw in a cheap, secondhand GTX 1050Ti for transcoding and tonemapping. The whole thing runs openmediavault (debian based server distro). I have Jellyfin running in docker.
For watching, I mostly use Infuse Pro on my AppleTV 4K. On mobile, I was using the Jellyfin App but since the update a little while ago, I’ve been testing swiftfin again.
I also know for sure that friends that have access have been watching via the AndroidTV app, WebOS App and various web browsers.
Good question, good to see how others do it.
Mine: A well specced debian server in the garage running a crapload of stuff, including arrs and Jellyfin with Jellyseer, all in docker containers. Playback via debian laptop or Windows desktop using the official apps, and the tv paired with an Amazon Fire dongle running the Jellyfin app. All works really well.
The only problem is my wife sometimes deletes an entire series instead of the series somehow. I honestly don’t know how but I’ve had to download Young Sheldon for her four times now…

Sounds like you need to take away her delete privileges.
Not going to say you’re wrong.
I have a Debian VM that runs on a two node Proxmox cluster. The media is shared from an NFS share hosted on a Pi4 that has a USB drive attached.
The two nodes are new from AliExpress and have an N100 CPU, 16GB RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. They were £90 each.
A cheap setup but it works for me. It’s really to replace Plex which has been the go to app for media around the home.
I have a Arch Linux server running Jellyfin under my desk, attached to 2x 4To NAS HDD with smb shares on it for my wifes work so she can share between her pc and iphone, and i got the jellyfin app on my iphone and appletv so we can watch anything anywhere in the house whenever we like
Got mine in-house on an hpe dl360 gen 9 running in docker with 2 18tb drives for storing Linux ISO’s :)
That’s a lot of ISOs!
I do enjoy my ISO’s 😎🤣
Intel N100 Beelink box with 16GB of single channel RAM runs my Jellyfin server and Caddy. It’s also hooked up to my home theater system directly so I can use Moonlight on it to stream my main gaming PC.
My storage is a 4-bay aluminum USB 3.0 external enclosure attached to an M1 Mac Mini running Asahi Linux (Arch BTW). The Mac mini runs my Arr stack and mergerfs on the external drives so I can load balance across them and scale it up or down as needed. So basically the Mac Mini acts as a NAS.
A NAS case running Unraid, with Jellyfin in a docker container. All my music, movies and tv shows are on it.
