Oh I get your point. Coming from family and friends POV, I agree that the server administrator should not be able to open the photos.

Where do you want the encryption? Data at rest? Or data in transit? Also, you have to host your own server. Would you not have trust on your own server ?

Immich is good alternative

If you are willing to troubleshoot it by discussing with me on DM or discord or something. I am more than happy to chat with you for free.

Panik

Smoking is difficult

What are you comparing it with? Something like photoprism? If so, then photo prism does not allow you to have multiple users. (Atleast it wasn’t there when I used it last time)

If you compare it with Lychee, then Lychee does not have facial recognition.

Any cheap PC is going to be way better than raspberry Pi.

Also, may I suggest you to checkout Immich? I am in love with the project and have been using it as Google photos replacement.

Welcome to selfhosting!

Yes. Try using iperf to test connection speed between the client and the server.

Would you suggest some good testing app? I just use crystal disk info to see the stats. Never ran a test as such.

So am I!

I just peed myself laughing. Does that count ?

Download file from another system.

Use wget in powershell to download it in same system.

Use winget to install browser.

Thanks for sharing the pictures! Loved it!

What are you trying to achieve? I am sorry I don’t understand the end goal

Why don’t you post the solution publicly so people know how to get subtitles working?

I am not asking you to DM me. My request is to go to support in Jellyfin discord where we can discuss the issue. I agree jellyfin is not free from issue. But when you say “too bad subtitles don’t work” , it’s leaves the rest of us confused. The issues you listed down, might be true in specific cases for example AAS subtitles not rendering correctly in VLC on Android TV. You see how specific the issue is ? In your case , we don’t know what’s up. Someone wanting to try jellyfin (who is not affected by your issue) would shy away from even trying.

In any case, I had no intention to accuse you or offend you in any way. I apologise if I came out strong.

If you treat it as relay, then does it consume bandwidth on the VPS?

How are you detecting/monitoring it. I would like to do the same in my server

Yoo bad you don’t know how to troubleshoot. In anycase, head over to discord. Post your issue, I will personally help you resolve it.

if any one else reading this in the future

My guy just documenting for his future self, if it ever happens again.

Haha

Been there 🤣
