Just like title. I remember there is a very detailed guide for setup a Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr for streaming from everywhere in my house. But I can’t find it anymore.
If anyone has a guide and share it, I would be appreciate.
Step 1 - Dont. Step 2 - Install Jellyfin
What’s so great about jellyfin anyways? I have a lifetime plex pass so I’d be a waste of my money if I stopped using plex
This article covers it in depth.

It’s a different answer for someone already invested and paid up for life on plex though than it is for someone looking to do their first install.
I noticed jellyfin doesn’t have mobilesync, does that mean I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff away from home on my phone for example?
I watch totally fine on my phone and pickup at home. It should sync to your log in account in my experience
Plex does reencode and sync to phone for offline watching. Jellyfin you would stream direct. If you often go places with no Internet then sync is better, otherwise you’d be fine.
At work I don’t have wifi so I’m forced to use my phones 4g
If you pre-encode and sync over episodes for later, then yes plex will work better for you. If you watch streaming over 4g then you’d be unaffected
C/Plex on Lemmy.ee has a bunch of nice guides I wrote up and curated. I had to drop back from modding due to a major life event, but I’d be glad to answer any questions you have.
Best of luck 👍🏻
Just curious. Why Plex, and not Jellyfin?
my personal excuse is that I have a Samsung TV and there’s no Jellyfin app yet on the app store (I don’t want to side load)
Is there a Kodi app? Because Kodi can play media from Jellyfin servers.
I didn’t follow any single guide, but the following got me through my installation:
I used Dockstarter, since I am relatively unfamiliar with Docker. If you haven’t heard of it, it is essentially a GUI script that helps you with directories, ownership, and settings involved with a large selection of Docker containers. It tends to focus on the linuxserver io releases.

I like qBittorrent, and this particular image worked best with my VPN (AirVPN): Dockstarter: qBittorrentVPN. The linked support forum was helpful figuring out a couple of OpenVPN specific issues I had.
The Trash Guides are useful for setting up the directory trees.
There’s also a list of suggested Plex server settings on that site.

In the long run, you should be using jellyfin because plex has been worsening.
How has plex been worsening?
Plex pass.
Great explanation 🙄
Before you start I nnudge you to check out jellyfin
I’ve also seen https://trash-guides.info being mentioned
