I don't know why everyone in the selfhosting community still even mentions Plex or uses it.
It's closed source, not free; Jellyfin is a no brainer yet people still go to Plex??
Until jellyfin adds better user log in plex will still thrive. I do the self hosting I don't want a call every few days about they can't log in. The one click Gmail login with plex is amazing.
I would not let anyone access my self hosted stuff who is not using a password manager and secure passwords.
I'm actually fascinated/frightened by the number of people here who are apparently comfortable running an exposed remote service on their personal network without enough tech knowledge to manage user auth themselves or maintain a stack with shared volumes....
I think most of the reason people are using Plex is that they don't have to expose services. Plex handles all the nat traversal and whatnot for them.
Also the people that know how to set that all up and still expose a Jellyfin server to the public internet
