After 14 years with Plex, I finally moved my video library to Jellyfin. Why rising costs, feature restrictions and digital ownership pushed me towards FOSS.
But… I mean… that’s not the right thing to do for proper security. You would be 100% reliant on user passwords and the devs fixing any security issues like remote code execution or privilege escalation in a timely manner, and you updating after that release comes. Now if Emby is running in a container like docker, or on a dedicated system, you have backups, etc. then even if someone got in there’s not much they could realistically do other than watch your media.
But realistically, you won’t have issues doing it that way in the real world unless you’re already being targeted for some reason.
Emby is based on jf from years ago.
That’s backwards… Jellyfin was forked from Emby in 2018. Both have been developed separately since then, and are still very similar.
Pretty much.
