  • for a very long time it was not only possible for experts. like, I would say the last 10-15 years, maybe even more. It’s very harmful that people can now create things they don’t even know how to check what it does, and they just assume this “sentient thing” actually produced what you wanted with no major flaws. thing is, you (or anyone else vibecoding things) won’t be able to determine what is good or bad without taking the time and learning the building blocks, learning how they work and how they are supposed to be used.

    also your comments look like AI generated comments, fake enthusiasm and all the rest. it does not inspire much confidence


  • “if I don’t have to”. and, is your jellyfin running as root? or are you running it a different way, e.g. from apt package (where I believe it’s sensible by default)? I smell doubt.

    but in either case it does not matter how do you run jellyfin. what I care is how many other people are running jellyfin exposed to the internet because they think its safe, because people on forums told them so, with the popular docker image where it is being ran as root.

    I’m not moving goalposts. I’m still firmly besides my point that for the general jellyfin admin exposing jellyfin to the wide internet is unsafe and irresponsible. and seeing all the downvotes but no one else telling their opinion, it seems no one knows better either and they are just angry I pointed this out.
    again, I don’t care how are you running Jellyfin. I don’t want to convince you on that, you do whats best for you, it seems you might have done some precautions. what I care is to not recommend these practices to others (without the full picture), because they are unsafe, especially without further precautions like running a(n unofficial) rootless jellyfin docker image and an intrusion detection system, which I guarantee most people won’t have.





  • Talking about security… Have you heard of intrusion detection, process isolation, or principle of least privilege?

    are you aware that the very popular official docker image for jellyfin still runs the jellyfin process as root? or that most people just mount their media libraries as a read-write volume because they don’t know better?

    I would also be very interested about statistics on how many jellyfin admins run intrusion detection software on their system, if you have any.
