Running 2 servers on 1 network - klkhoo - 2025-06-13
Hello, I have 2 machines located in 2 different locations with media content that i wanted to include in a single network. Currently i am able to access the servers networks individually through the use of tailscale, but can i merge those 2 machines together and access it through a single network? Thanks in advance.

You can run one (or both) in Docker containers (or similar). Then assign a different port number to one of them. This way, both can be used with the same IP address, but on different ports.
You can also link the media from one to the other Jellyfin server through a network share. Just make sure you disable one server's ability to write to the media location so it doesn't mess with the other server's writing of metadata.

You need to share the files from the one server, no need for jellyfin on that and on the other Jellyfin add the network share - you could maby do this with tailscale
