It's a Plex alternative, I don't know about better. IIRC it's a fork of Emby. I try both usually a couple times a year, but there's always something that gives me issue and I just stay with Plex.

Also, seems kind of silly, but the name is just dumb. Neither my wife or I want to audibly say "let's watch something on Jellyfin".

Is there a good guide on how to access services from outside my network? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Assuming you don't want to expose these services directly to the internet (I don't recommend it) then you want to set up a VPN to connect back to your home network. Wireguard or OpenVPN are the most commonly used. As far as guides that will depend where/how you want to run it.

Sorry guys, it's because I just bought another domain today. This really sucks, Google Domains was easy to use and cheap.
