Self-Hosted Media Server Deployment

Jellyfin Media Server in Proxmox

In this project, I deployed a Jellyfin media server within Proxmox VE to manage and stream personal media securely. Instead of relying on third-party services, I created a self-hosted solution that allows for full control over content organization, privacy, and streaming quality. The deployment was done within a virtualized environment for enhanced flexibility and scalability.

Project Overview:

I set up Jellyfin in a Proxmox virtual machine, utilizing containerized deployments to ensure optimal resource allocation and isolation. Networking and port forwarding were configured to allow secure remote access from any device while maintaining strict security protocols. To streamline content management, I automated the media organization process, along with metadata retrieval, to improve the overall user experience.

Key Components:

  • Jellyfin for managing and streaming media

  • Proxmox VE for virtualization and resource management

  • Secure remote access setup using Cloudflare Tunnel

  • Automated media organization and metadata fetching for a better user interface

  • Containerization for efficient resource management

Outcomes & Impact:

  • Developed a reliable and scalable self-hosted media server

  • Enhanced the user experience through automated media organization and metadata fetching

  • Gained hands-on experience with Proxmox VE and containerization for media servers

  • Enabled secure streaming access without relying on third-party cloud services

  • Streamlined the process of managing a growing media library

This project was an exciting challenge in self-hosting and virtualization, as it allowed me to explore and set up an environment that could evolve over time to support more features and services.
