I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I’ve switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.

JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of “then you just have it”. If anything, only FOSS can give that.

In the EU, it sort of isn’t.

Takes a long time to write a proper response for all the GDPR stuff. The responses surprisingly don’t change all that much whether or not I do, so I might as well save me the trouble.

First thing you mention is such a fun and useful exercise. But as you point out, way overkill. Might even be dangerous to expose it. I got mine to 20kb on top of busybox.

There is something that tickles the right spots when a complete container image significantly smaller than the average js payload in “modern” websites.

What’s the problem with it being local-only? Just backup the secrets, and you’re good? Or is backing it up the “online” element?
