The Introductions thread

[lals]

Welcome to the Introductions thread!

I'm Joshua, project leader and release manager of Jellyfin.

I use Jellyfin mostly for videos (TV + Movies) and music, with a bit of YouTube on the side. I run it on Debian native, inside a VM, with a 238TB (1/2 usable) CephFS as the backing storage and NGiNX as the frontend proxy.

What's your story and setup?

Hi everyone,
I originally started using Jellyfin about three years ago, mainly to test my firewall rules from outside my network. Since then, it has grown into something much more; my family and friends now use it regularly to watch movies, TV series, and even some training videos.
Over the years, my setup has become increasingly complex as I have worked to make it stable and secure. Here’s my current configuration:

• Host: Proxmox
  • CPU: i7 @ 3.4GHz
    
  • RAM: 20GB
    
  • No GPU passthrough (Proxmox doesn’t seem too happy about that!)
    
• VM: Debian 12 (14GB RAM)
  • Media shared via NFS from an old macOS system
    
• Network setup:
  • Everything sits behind a load balancer acting as a reverse proxy
    
  • Only port 443 is open on the pfSense firewall
    
  • All traffic goes through Cloudflare for IP obfuscation and an extra layer of security
    

I’m currently running Jellyfin 10.11.2, and it’s been extremely stable,  easily handling up to 6 users simultaneously without issues.
Really love what Jellyfin has become, thank you to the devs and community for keeping it open and improving!
