no VPN or IP whitelisting or any other workaround required
But what about this? I can spin up a Docker image of Plex, log in, and it just works. My tech illiterate family members and friends can access it and I don’t have to deal with setting all of these other items up. Plex will just use UPnP out of the box whereas I’d need to set up DLNA or some other means to get remote Jellyfin access working.
Maybe I am wrong but this is why myself and others opt to just use Plex for family and friends and Jellyfin locally. 🙂
What platform doesn’t support Jellyfin?
The rest of that applies to Jellyfin as well, I just give you the url and the account details then you’re good to go.
