Hi there!
Wondering what types of setup people have that allow them to, while the internet is down, still watch/stream media from their servers. I have a stacked Jellyfin library that, and would like to see this feature/setup in my own house. My Unraid server is on the other side of the house from where the living room is. Is there actually a sane way to achieve this?
How do you not do that? It’s all in your local network, how would it not work offline…?
I have everything connected over Tailscale, and strictly only use IPs delegated through this system. So i realise now that I have to step away from that if I want to make it work locally :P
Why would you run local traffic over the VPN?
If all the devices are in the same network you should be able to stream content even without internet. I had to wait for 5 days to my ISP set up my internet on my new address and I watched my jellyfin library in the meantime with no problems.
You shouldn’t have the do anything specific at all, local network stuff works without internet and Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any internet servers like Plex does for authentication.
