    Hi all, 

    According to the Jellyfin Docker install docs (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/instal...container/), bridge is the default Docker network mode, with host only required for DLNA (never used). However, the docker run and compose example templates use host mode, without explaining if it's performance-related.  In other words, no official recommendation is mentioned.

    I found this Docker network_mode comparison table on LoadForge:

    https://loadforge.com/guides/advanced-network-configuration-for-high-performance-docker-containers#:~:text=The%20host%20network%20driver%20provides,network%20throughput%20and%20low%20latency

    Has anyone already benchmarked these differences specifically for Jellyfin workloads?  When direct-streaming large 4K HDR remuxes (65Mbps) over the internet (~20 miles), I frequently get micro-pauses/suttering. Could switching to a more secure/isolated mode like bridge worsen this?

    Thanks,

    P.S. I’m already considering pre-transcoding static HDR titles later down the line.
