01 / THE BUILD
Give infrastructure something enjoyable to do.
Jellyfin gives the lab a use that reaches beyond a dashboard. Streaming turns the server, storage, and network into an experience you can sit down and enjoy.
02 / THE BUILD
A service is more than its installation.
The project notes confirm successful movie streaming. They also document experiments getting Jellyfin accessible from the WiiM side of the listening setup.
03 / THE BUILD
Real workloads teach real lessons.
Streaming and large file transfers place different demands on the environment. Testing them together became a way to investigate mixed workloads instead of assuming that one successful stream proved the whole system.
THE TAKEAWAYA home lab becomes more meaningful when its services connect to things you already love doing.
STILL CURIOUS
What’s next?
Improve service visibility in ZedMon and keep testing how media and storage workloads interact.
