A refused stream on a phone or at a relative's house is usually the trigger: people want a way out now, not a long evaluation.\n\nJellyfin is the direct answer. It is a community fork of the Emby codebase, released under GPL-2.0, with no mandatory account, no telemetry and nothing locked behind a paywall. It does not imitate the Plex API: it exposes its own, served by the official Jellyfin apps (Android, iOS, Android TV, Roku, webOS, Tizen, Xbox) and by third-party clients that support it natively, such as Infuse.

Jellyfin in Direct Play mode (devices read the file without transcoding) runs well with 2 vCPUs and 2 GB RAM. If you expect software 1080p transcoding, count at least 4 vCPUs per simultaneous stream: Jellyfin is CPU-intensive without hardware acceleration. For 4K, a GPU or an Intel chip with Quick Sync are strongly recommended.\n\nStorage is the main sizing factor: a medium-sized media library weighs several terabytes. Your media files stay where they are — there is nothing to copy. On the network side, your domain must point to the VPS and port `8096` must be reachable internally (the reverse proxy handles HTTPS exposure).\n\nIn summary: a Linux VPS (Debian 12 or Ubuntu 22.04+), Docker and `docker compose` v2, a configured domain, a reverse proxy (Caddy or Nginx), and SSH access to the server.\n\nBefore touching anything, take a snapshot of the VPS from your hosting panel: it is the safety net that brings you back to the Plex state in minutes if the switch goes wrong.
