Jellyfin looks better to people by the hour.

Until you try to share your library with someone and have to parse terms like reverse proxy or figure out how your mom can install a vpn on her Roku

If you can set up Jellyfin, you can set up a reverse proxy using Caddy. It’s dead easy.

And you also need a public domain. So I have to register, pay for, and configure that as well.

Recognize that we’re on like step 7 of “just use Jellyfin instead of Plex”

Why would you need a public domain? You should be able to use your IP address.
