Hi! I’m currently looking onto perhaps running Jellystat. But the instructions seem to be a bit…lacking? Is there a step by step guide on how to get it up and running?

Thanks!

      Seems pretty creepy to be collecting logs about what people watch. Why do people use this?

        Is it creepy what people collect data on their own viewing habits so they can visualise data for fun and keep track of things they’ve watched? I’m not sure I understand why that is creepy TBH. It’s not like people are collecting data on viewing habits of random strangers.

          It’s the duality (hypocrisy?) around a lot of selfhosters.

          They’re self-hosting for “privacy” from Google/Microsoft/whatever, but then install enough surveillance software that the CIA might think you’ve over done it and then watch everything they and any friends/family they share access with are doing.

          I mean that’s cool if that’s what you want to do, but it’s still a weird thing.

            Depends on your judgement of other people, i guess. I have thousands of movies taking TBs of space on my NAS and lots of users. I’d like to have easy reports such as “movies never watched in a year with a low imdb score”. So i know what can I delete if needed. But to each their own.

              I mean, I don’t much care either way; I don’t expect privacy if I’m doing something on a computer owned by someone else so if they want to log everything that’s great.

              It’s just that, personally, I don’t want to know what my friends and family are posting, or watching, or listening to (unless we’re like, having an actual conversation about it) and keep as much logging as remotely feasible turned off.

              I’d be a LOT happier if the tools to do logging were just aggregate stats: in your case, you don’t need to know WHO watched it, just if it was watched, which is still very privacy respecting.

              But uh, mostly all these analysis tools/log analyzers/metrics api endpoints are designed to log every single detail of every single interaction and that just… makes me feel skeezy.

          That’s fair. I’m just thinking I could never use something like this because I would be invading the privacy of others using my Jellyfin. I would live to see an anonymous view counter on every movie though tbh.

        I use it to track users use/watch habits, to restrict their access if need be. Every user with a password that may or may not be strong is a weak point in my network security.
