Obviously we all want to avoid enshittified (aggressively monetized) software or at least get our money’s worth. I’m looking at self-hosting software right now and one I’m looking has a pricing page but only for cloud (no other paywalled features) and is open source. I tried looking up future plans and didn’t find much, so it doesn’t seem like it will enshittify. (not related) I had thought about switching to Omnivore for a long time but then they merged with ElevenLabs and the rest is history.
Sorry, jellyfin isn’t that much work. It’s maintaining the whole thing, radarr, sonarr, etc. all running on an unraid server that needs maintenance and upkeep. Just work.
I could have said unraid server I just thought more people would understand if I said jellyfin.
