  • Ok. So you’re definitely not trying to use 127.0.0.1 remotely.

    So on your phone’s web browser ( using the same WiFi ) if you visit http://<ip of mint system>:8096 and nothing happens then it’s the firewall on the mint system. You would need to allow ports 8096/8097.


    I’ve never used Linux mint, but if it’s Debian based then it might be using UFW firewall.

    First, check that if firewall is running. Open a terminal and type:

    sudo ufw status
    

    Step 2: Open ports 8096 and 8097

    To allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097, use the following commands:

    sudo ufw allow 8096/tcp
    sudo ufw allow 8097/tcp
    

    This opens both ports for TCP traffic. If you also want to open the ports for UDP traffic, you can use:

    sudo ufw allow 8096/udp
    sudo ufw allow 8097/udp
    

    Step 3: Verify the rules

    Once you’ve added the rules, you can check the firewall status to verify the changes:

    sudo ufw status
    

    You should see entries for ports 8096 and 8097 allowing TCP (and/or UDP) traffic.

    Step 4: Reload firewall (if necessary)

    If the changes do not take effect immediately, you may reload the firewall using:

    sudo ufw reload
    

    Now, the firewall should allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097.




  • How do you know the server is worker fine? How are you accessing it to know that?

    E:

    Do you have a firewall running on your mint installation? If so have you allowed the ports (8096/8097)

    Can you access the web client on the Mint installation http://<ip of mint>:8096

    Can you use that same address on your phone / another computer to access it?

    FYI If you’re using 127.0.0.1 that will not work on your phone or any client that’s not running the Jellyfin server.

    When you use the Jellyfin app which server address are you putting in?













  • It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.

    Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.

    But you just kept nagging. lol

    Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.



  • This is why I self host invidious. I enjoy YouTube content, but I want a clean, targeted experience when viewing videos.

    This is also why I self host FreshRSS and use a client like Lire. I want clean and targeted news feeds.

    This is why I haven’t had cable in 20 years and self hosted my own videos by legally purchasing dvds/blurays and ripping them. ( later adding ad free subscriptions ). I hate commercials with a passion and refuse to experience them ever again.

    All of this has allowed me to have a very controlled experience and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
