I don't mean when the internet goes down but never has internet access. Like I would want it on it's own VLAN with no internet access.

In you use case I would look at Jellyfin. One of Plex's main features is sharing across the web

Would Jellyfin play well with a VPN to watch media while outside my network?

[–] nevetsg@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can't see why not, if you know how to set it up. I am sure there are existing docker containers to help you out. But I am a Plex guy, not a Jellyfin expert.

I appreciate the help! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Jellyfin runs great via VPN

Don't believe so, you have to create a plex account and authenticate to use the platform.

You can absolutely configure it to allow exceptions for LAN so that you don't need to authenticate to their servers over the web.

Oh, fair enough! Never tried this.
