With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions. (lemm.ee)

I use Hetzner as a seedbox and then have PLEX as my media server ran on the same hardware. It's worked perfectly fine for years. But recently PLEX says they will be blocking Hetzner hosting in the next few weeks. I've been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I'm worried they will do the same thing in future.

Does anyone know if that's a real possibility?

Also, if I setup a VPN and just download stuff I torrent from my seedbox to a local PLEX server, would I be in any more risk of legal issues then I am now?

Am I looking at this completely wrong, and I should do something completely different?

To clarify what I am thinking of doing:

Keep my Hetzner as my seedbox and continue to download using my IPTorrents account. Setup a Local Plex or Jellyfin server and download from my seedbox to that local server that will be ran behind a VPN.

Offhand it sounds like it could be a drop in replacement for you. But there are a lot of other variables you'd need to consider e.g. if you require specific app/TV support & don't like the current Jellyfin offerings.

Maybe others can clarify or you can post with any specific requirements/questions in the Jellyfin forums or the lemmy communities !jellyfin@lemmy.world / !jellyfin@lemmy.ml

That aside you could always just try it out & see how you like it.

Ultimately, I think that is what I am doing, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask someone with experience with the software already just in case there was an obviouls big red stop sign I was missing. Looks like I have other plans this weekend then playing more Stanfield or Baluder's Gate 3. Thanks for the help and info.
