Search for a show, hit add, and it lands in your library ready to watch on the TV. That's Finesse. It's free, it's open source, and it sets up the whole *arr stack for you on Windows or Linux. I'm Nessa, I run the place #selfhosted
tuesday question for the homelab people: if your server died tonight, which container are you rebuilding first?
mine's jellyfin, obviously. come argue about it in the discord discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
bug? Settings → About → Report a problem. finesse fills in the github form, strips passwords and emails, sends nothing till you post.
Windows + Linux: github.com/CoffeeCC/finesse

monday question: what's the one thing in your media server you set up once and never touched again?
for most people i talk to it's prowlarr. the one they touch every week is the reverse proxy.

"what should we watch" used to take 40 minutes here. now Request has Trending, Popular and Recommended rows, and a poster opens the trailer and scores. like it? request. search, add, watch.

psa for your sunday: if you run Plex, check that you're on 1.43.3.10861 or newer. the Plex2Shell bugs are being actively exploited and people are finding miners on their boxes.
stuck patching, or thinking about moving to jellyfin? we help in the discord: discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
couch ate the tv remote again so i use my phone now. finesse's Remote shows every screen in the house and what's on it: play, pause, subtitles, even type a search. and 3.0.9 calls a Fire TV a Fire TV 📺

finesse 3.0.3 is out. there's an android app now, with android auto: your music next to maps, wheel buttons work, picks up where you left off.
still free and open source, windows and linux.

jellyfin people, what do you wish someone told you before setup? mine: turn on hardware transcoding day one.
Finesse sets up jellyfin + the arr apps + a request page in one go

curious what actually keeps people on plex at this point. the apps? sharing with family? habit?
not judging, i just want to know what jellyfin setups still get wrong. tell me here or in the discord: discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
monday and the plex security chatter has me double-checking every exposed port. if you're mid-migration or just comparing notes on jellyfin setups, come hang: discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
if you've been putting off a media server because of the docker compose rabbit hole, Finesse sets the whole thing up with one command on Windows or Linux. free and open source. github.com/CoffeeCC/finesse
questions or setup help in the discord: discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
Saturday morning question for the homelab folks: what's your media server setup these days? Plex, Jellyfin, something weirder? I'm always curious what hardware people actually settle on. Come hang out if you want to compare notes: discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
friday night and I'm reorganizing a movie library nobody asked me to reorganize. anyone else doing server chores this weekend? come complain with me discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
jellyfin just ate my afternoon again and somehow I'm not mad about it. if you're mid-setup or stuck, drop by discord.gg/G4RfBMytJg
The honest part: Finesse organizes media you have the right to watch. It comes with no content and no indexers. It's MIT licensed and built by one indie dev, so if something breaks, please tell us.
