I've been trying my very best to get Plex to a high WAF, but it fucks up constantly.
I get this constantly:
The WAF on my household tech is pretty high. That includes Plex.
I have in house dual/redundant DNS, and my Plex is nearly 100% 24/7/365 on old server hardware. Our living space is far enough away from the servers that the noise isn't really a problem, and I can break most of what I have installed/setup and internet continues to work because of the independent and redundant DNS. All of my homelab domains are just a stub zone in my main DNS, so everything keeps working if something dies or stops working.
I use Jellyfin instead of Plex, and it runs on my old PC, which sits next to my regular PC. I'd like to move it, but it's a bit too big to fit anywhere conveniently.
The WAF is teetering on a knife's edge. I have been spending so much time getting it set up and adding content that I haven't cleaned up the content much. I need to go and reorganize things to put her workout videos in a separate spot because they're very hard to find. If I can manage to get everything working well, she'll probably let me finally cancel our Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions, provided I top up our content a bit more.
I have yet to mess with DNS. I'd really like to give our Jellyfin a DNS entry, but I'd also really like it to be routed internally when on our network so we don't take a big perf hit. Doing that means I need to run a custom DNS on our network, so I've set up a second wifi network to play around with. But hopefully in the next month or so we'll have a nice domain, like "media.mydomain.com" or something, which would get routed internally when on wifi and still have TLS working properly.
For full WAF compabilty you need a front end where she can add content herself. Like Ombi or Overseer
So far, samba is working. But I'll check those out too.
