Optimizing Jellyfin Performance and Security on Ubuntu 22.04

General

Hello everyone :sunglasses:,

I am rocking Jellyfin on my Linux server, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. But there’s always room for improvement, right? I’m particularly interested in squeezing out the best performance, keeping things secure (especially since it’s accessible remotely), and making sure everything runs smoothly alongside other server tasks.

Here’s my setup:

  • Server OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Hardware: Intel i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD
  • Network: Gigabit Ethernet

Here’s what I’m hoping to achieve:

  • Performance Powerhouse; I want buttery-smooth playback with minimal buffering. Any recommended configurations, transcoding settings, or performance tweaks are highly appreciated!
  • Fort Knox Security; Since I can access Jellyfin remotely, security is paramount. Tips on securing connections, firewall configurations, and user management best practices would be amazing.
  • Resourceful Efficiency; How can I allocate resources to Jellyfin in a way that optimizes its performance without affecting other services on the server? :thinking:
  • Maintenance Made Easy; What’s the most efficient way to keep Jellyfin and its dependencies updated with minimal downtime? Are there any automation tools or scripts I can leverage? :thinking:

I have explored resources/article: How to optimize Jellyfin for scarce resources such as Raspberry Pi 4 oracle integration cloud, but I still find myself struggling with these aspects.

Your expertise and experiences are invaluable, and I am eager to learn from this community. Thank you :pray: in advance for your guidance and recommendations.
