I was imagining setting up an old laptop as a backup to my main server with PostgreSQL replication for the Jellyfin DB and some sort of file synchronization for media and metadata. I have yet to manually setup PostgreSQL replication outside of a cloud provider where the process is automated, so I was planning it as an interesting learning experience. However, from the post above, it seems I was misinformed about the timeframe of PostgreSQL support in Jellyfin.
Ah, seems I had a misunderstanding and appreciate the info!
Really looking forward to 10.11 when the EFCore functionality is in place so I can run it with PostgreSQL and actually backup the DB properly and also have proper replication for a hot standby.
As many others have said, not allowing inbound WAN connections into my LAN is an important step. I also run k3s on my server with Calico as the CNI and make heavy use of network policies to keep anything I’m running from misbehaving. That, along with easy ingress makes k3s worth it for me over Docker Compose. I use OpenWRT on my router and force certain devices to run through a VPN and block other devices from the internet entirely.
I stand corrected about PostgreSQL support dropping in 10.11. Seems we may still have quite a wait ahead of us.
