  • It really depends on which services you need besides whatever hardware you have lying around.

    For me it’s a bit higher, as I used to host all my stuff on a rented dedicated box. Having an always on server in my bedroom didn’t work for me, I have moved out since and built a local sever.

    • Dedicated Hetzner server + 10TB storage box: ~75€/month
    • Netcup VPS (external monitoring): ~6.50€/month
    • Kavita+ subscription for additional features: 5 USD/month (I think)
    • Various domains: not sure, I have ~7 domains so another ~100€/year
    • Mail: 90USD/year
    • VPN: ~50USD/year (forgot to track this expense, oops)
    • Backblaze B2: ~2€/month

    If you only need a public IP to reach your stuff, an even cheaper VPS should suffice.

    Edit: forgot some stuff in the first pass





  • Just leaving this here

    Now, let’s address this clearly once and for all. What is possible is unauthenticated streaming. Each item in a Jellyfin library has a UUID generated which is based on a checksum of the file path. So, theoretically, if someone knows your exact media paths, they could calculate the item IDs, and then use that ItemID to initiate an unauthenticated stream of the media. As far as we know this has never actually been seen in the wild. This does not affect anything else - all other configuration/management endpoints are behind user authentication. Is this suboptimal? Yes. Is this a massive red-flag security risk that actively exposes your data to the Internet? No.
