I will setup, repair, or maintain your plex or jellyfin media server
Creative and Professional
About this Gig
I set up Plex or Jellyfin on the computer or NAS you already own Synology, QNAP, Unraid, Linux, Windows, or Mac. Your existing folders become an organized library with posters, metadata, and user accounts.
EVERY ORDER INCLUDES
- An installation fit to your specs
- Libraries built from your existing folders
- User account setup
- Written admin guide: updates, backups, users
- 30 minutes of one-on-one consulting
- 7 days of support after delivery
Message me before ordering. Orders placed before messaging will be canceled.
Bigger builds, like multiple servers or remote access beyond your home network, get a custom offer.
What I don't do: No download automation. I set up servers for media you legally own, and I say so up front.
For your privacy and security, you will create the access to your computer or NAS that I'll be using. Once the project is complete, you will revoke that access and I will no longer be able to get in.
Looking forward to getting your library up and running.

FAQ
1 - Do I need a powerful computer or NAS?
No. I match the app to what you own; a Raspberry Pi runs Jellyfin for direct play, 4K transcoding wants a real CPU or GPU. If your machine can't run what you want, I'll let you know before the project starts.
2 - Is my library private?
Your files never leave your machine. Jellyfin runs fully local with no accounts; Plex needs a free Plex account and phones home for remote streaming; I configure direct connections so traffic stays on your network wherever possible.
3 - What do you need from me?
You create the access (SSH key or temporary credentials, your choice) and revoke it at handover. We finish with a 15-minute test call on your own device.
4 - What are the ongoing costs?
Jellyfin is fully free including hardware transcoding; Plex hardware transcoding needs Plex Pass, which I flag before you order.
5 - Will it work on my TV?
Yes. There are apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, smart TVs, phones, and tablets, and the test call covers playback on your actual TV or device.
6 - What happens after delivery?
You get a written admin guide covering updates, backups, and user management. Every order includes 7 days of support. After that, I can fix a one-time issue or set up ongoing tech support, both for an additional cost.
