Honestly if you’re a smaller server, or anywhere decent at tinkering Jellyfin is the better product at this point
I tried switching and I'll try again. But getting https reverse proxy was a lot of moving parts that I never got working.
The instructions were a long chain of learning:
Install ngnx for reverse proxy
Ngnx only available as docker
Install docker
Docker not working because I don't understand it.
Install podman
Give up and go back to 3d printing where I have a backlog of stuff that actually needs to be done.
Nginx does not require docker…
I think it's the other way around. Jellyfin recommends docker.
I installed Jellyfin "barebones" on my machine, without Docker, and it works great.
No need to Dockerize everything all the time.
Just for the record, I’d generally suggest not using docker for nginx unless you are more comfortable with docker images than installing software (and keeping it up to date) on bare metal.
Caddy is way easier than all the other reverse proxies, it handles certificates automatically
