  • I tried Jellyfin for a few days now and have to say I was absolutely displeased by the stability of the clients (except browser) and sloweness.

    Figured the bottleneck was somewhere else so decided to just try Emby with a 1-m pass. Emby works absolutely beautifully. No issues AT ALL regarding speed, transcoding, clients, or anything. I click the video a second later it’s up. Even through a VPN. Jellyfin frustrated me sometimes locally via LAN.

    However I still want to give Jellyfin a shot. Have you experienced similar?

    • both installed in docker on the same host with recommended but where applicable same config.











  • Unfortunately not at the moment, as all is kinda fiddled and setup manually, but I’m redoing my home lab in a couple of weeks. Send me a message and I’ll send you the docker image or script!

    But basically I did the following:

    • enable ipv4 forwarding
    • configure and start VPN tunnel
    • set the default route to the tunnel
    • set the gw for reaching the remote vpn server to the local gw
    • sets routes for the local network to the local gw

    If your vpn goes down, the default route shall still point to the remote gw, but as it isn’t there you also have a kill switch. Voila!

    I am looking into gluetun but haven’t tried it yet.

    Edit: this doesn’t protect you from someone snooping the traffic inside your local net, but protects it starting from the point where it leaves the local vpngw. The traffic is unencrypted between that and your client.
