Yea, JF is getting mature enough for more people to transition.

I've been running it side by side with Plex for about 2 years now, and have a couple of clients (and all of my personal use) on JF, but a few users either cant run JF directly on their hardware (and don’t want to cast every time) or they are older and would struggle to learn a new app without some hands on practice with it.

The newest Plex UI update on some devices is causing some problems so I think I’ll have a few more users moving to JF in the near future.

It's a bit of a ram hog compared to plex but that's not a major issue.

Could you point me to a good tutorial for hosting Minecraft server for my kids?

[–] meh@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if you want easy java minecraft i might try something like https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server though i've not tested that one beyond 'it did install'.

for bedrock this walkthough does a good job of covering the steps. https://harrk.dev/dedicated-bedrock-minecraft-server-ubuntu-setup/

microsoft has a habit of changing the download url regularly so automating it gets annoying. my kid has moved onto java so i've just left the bedrock server shutdown.

if you really want to run a java server outside docker and you're comfortable with bash scripts, i can post mine here. but one of the docker builds is going to be the simplest way to get started with it.
