I'm not sure what the right model is to get money flowing in. It seems like they took the easy route. 100 dollars for a server licence is not really that small amount considering that most server users are families? I would have preferred massive fund raising campaigns .... I'm a bit lazy and need lots of nagging to get my credit card out .... But its right these guys get some income for their work. As long as code remains AGPL ... I bet soon there will be a fork like happened with Emby. I ended up purchasing the server licence a a few month later moved to the forked version ...🙂

    What happened with Emby? I've used their service for a long time and have been very happy with their lifetime premium.

    It used to be an open source project, then at some point the developers moved it to closed source. In reaction to this, a couple of people forked the last open source version of emby and launched it as an open source project (again) named jellyfin.

    It is still open source and under active development, and has a significant userbase. Especially on Lemmy I think it's much preferred by people to emby (or at least more vocally supported).

    As soon as there's a proper backup, better built in Google photos import (immich-go exists and is awesome) and a before way to clean up the orphaned files I'll gladly drop 100 bucks on this.

    My wife and i have been using it for a year. I already had all my docker volumes set external (was always confused at that initial choice) and I've not had one real breaking change. Got logged out a lot after some patches but it's been brilliant software so far. App is a little wonky and could def use some polish but overall well worth the cost for me. Same with my Plex pass although i wouldn't buy one nowadays because i think it's a but much for something that's not in anyway a "private" service unless you kind of jail it and only play locally.

    So are you saying you have it running on a VM with all data stored on NAS?

    I have it as a Truenas Scale app. The upgrade brokemiy installation and the rollback didn't work. Want to move it to a VM with Docker
