Hi,
I am new to hosting media so this is all exploratory for me.
I set up Jellyfin as a docker container that sits on a NUC that doubles as my NAS. The libraries are on a dedicated disk hosted by my NAS and jellyfin reads them over the network. I did this so I could easily dump new files in there from my main PC.
At home, the performance I get is fine, it will happily stream 1080p without a drop but will struggle to scrub sometimes. Today, I was at a friends house and I connected to my VPN tunnel on thier wifi. I was getting 200mbps but I was waiting a minute for a video to load.
What was the bottleneck in this situation?
I think the NUC is not powerful enough on its own and I am toying with the idea of building a dedicated server for jellyfin on an ubuntu distro but I am not sure.
I want to understand Jellyfin and media hosting as a whole so any advice would be appreciated.
