I’ll admit I haven’t really looked into it, but how is the Jellyfin web interface insecure? I don’t currently, but in the past I’ve used ssh reverse port forwarding to my VPS and then used an Apache proxy and letsencrypt for ssl on a subdomain. Maybe I was just lucky, but I never had any problems.
It has had a pretty high number of RCE exploits including one recently the architecture of the web service is just very poor and leads to a lot of basic problems.
Personally I am not a fan of the language they chose, and I think it directly leads to a lot of these problems but that’s just like my opinion man.
The server itself also has tons of issues like the constant memory leaks that cause it to eat up endless amounts of memory that they don’t seem interested in fixing and basically once again push it to the users to deal with and a bunch of the boot lickers are like yeah you just need to put it in a Docker and limit its maximum memory as if that’s just normal and expected to need to do
Ah, yeah, guess I never realized it’s a .NET program. Never understood why an open source dev would choose .NET, but what can you do.
Also despise Docker (especially the modern over-reliance on it), but that always gets me into trouble when I admit that publicly.
