does a feature exist for server mirroring/syncing - m9365428 - 2025-12-05
Basics of the scenario are that I have mirrored NAS servers for file backups in multiple house holds (friends and family). And I have a public DNS listed for mobile access with a self-hosted vpn to allow each server to mirror each other.
Issue is that the local internet providers have monthly speed, bandwidth, and download caps (yes barbaric speed and GB caps). Meaning if you stream alot it kills your caps each month.
So the goal is to set up a jellyfin host at each house that link to each other not for load shedding but for file mirroring, matched users accounts, and local playback priority. My Central cerver would be the online/remote (way from local networks/vacation server accessible over internet) and all other servers would be for local playback.
Basically a way to have everyone on each app have one connection point that will link them into the system and regardless of app/location connect to my public server authenticate the connection and start media browsing/playback from the closest mirror (either mine if online or local mirror if they have one).
I have seen a few add-ons to aggregate multiple servers with different libraries into 1 unified virtual library (using direct playback from each storage array). But what I'm looking for would be almost the opposite, multiple servers acting as 1 to reduce over internet data usage.
Does something like this exist?
Edit:
I tried Plex and this feature is missing there as well or I never was able to find it. Also we have network outages so the always online login system kills it for us. Exactly when locally hosted movies would be awesome you cant login and use it.
