Hi, all. So I want to set up a media server using my Raspberry Pi. It will be used by me and my partner, who is very much tech illiterate. She knows how to use Plex, but I’m tempted by the open nature of Jellyfin. How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple? Or is Jellyfin manageable if I set it up for her?

    As far as I understand, Tailscale (being a Wireguard network) doesn’t need you to flip it off and on - if you’re connecting to the relevant endpoint it gets routed through that, otherwise it just goes the normal way.

    Not gonna pretend that means the setup is trivial to nomies, but you could probably set it up for them and not have to worry about it.

      Yeah but it doesn’t auto connect on a lot of devices. So if you restart the device you have to reconnect. Tech illiterate people struggle with this concept.
