I agree with you, but this was specifically about jellyfin.

I don’t think so, but don’t quote me on that. My machines come with a 65w charger.

A micro sized PC with an i5 and 8gb or ram can cost under 100€, and it’s way more powerful compared to a pi. Power efficient too. That’s what I used for a long time for my jellyfin server.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered what you say… I use WG it to access a network, not a device. I have a few dozen devices, physical and virtual, why should I set up wg on all of them? Tailscale, maybe, it’s a different story, but I prefer to “self host” and not rely on a 3rd party provider. Wireguard was relatively easy to set up too, a few years ago… and in the meantime, if I need to add a new client, it’s a two minute job.

Right, but I have wireguard on my opnsense. So when I want to reach https://jellyfin.example.com/ , if I am at home, it goes phone -> DNS -> proxy -> jellyfin (on the same network). If I am connected to the VPN, it goes from phone -> internet -> opnsense public ip -> wireguard subnet -> local subnet -> DNS -> proxy -> jellyfin. I see some unneeded extra steps here… Am I wrong?

Oh, I get that, but it just doesn’t make any sense to me to be physically next to the server, and connect to it via VPN…

My network is not publicly accessible. I can only access the internal services while connected to my VPN or when I’m physically at home. I connect to WG to use the local DNS (pihole) or to access the selfhosted stuff. I don’t need to be connected while I’m at home… In a way, I am always using the home DNS.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying…

I can stay connected, still works, but I don’t think I need the extra hoops.

I also have a different subnet for WG. Not sure I understand what you’re saying…

Same, wireguard with the 'WG Tunnel" app, which adds conditional Auto-Connect. If not on home wifi, connect to the tunnel.

Self-hostable, needs Minio (or any S3 compatible system).

60k stars for a free open source self hosted project? I’d say that’s a really healthy number. Jellyfin has 37k.
