Project Description: I am looking for an experienced freelancer to set up a Jellyfin Media Server on a VPS for a streaming service (maximum 20 concurrent users). I want to use the Gelato ecosystem and standard Jellyfin add-ons to keep user management and the setup as simple as possible. No automated payment gateways are needed right now. Key Requirements: Server Setup: Install and secure Jellyfin on VPS. App Compatibility: Ensure it connects perfectly to Swiftfin (for iOS/Apple TV) and whatever Jellyfin client has a good UI app (for Android). Optimization: Configure the server so it can handle up to 20 users smoothly without buffering. User Management: Set up the Jelato interface so I can easily add, remove, and manage my 20 users manually. About You: You must have direct experience setting up Jellyfin, reverse proxies (SSL), and specifically Gelato or similar management add-ons. Must be able to hand over a fully working system and explain how to use it in plain, simple English.

Hello, Jellyfin VPS setup — the tricky part here isn’t installing Jellyfin, it’s getting stable streaming for 20 concurrent users without buffering while keeping user management (Gelato layer) simple and reliable. I’d set this up on a hardened Ubuntu VPS with Jellyfin behind Nginx reverse proxy + proper SSL (Let’s Encrypt), and tune transcoding (hardware acceleration if available) so the server doesn’t choke under simultaneous streams. For 20 users, the real bottleneck is usually CPU transcoding + disk I/O, not Jellyfin itself, so I’d structure it so direct play is prioritized and transcoding only triggers when absolutely needed. For the Gelato-style user management, I’d keep it clean and avoid overcomplicating the stack—manual user provisioning mapped directly to Jellyfin users with a simple admin layer, so you don’t end up with sync issues between tools. I’ve seen setups like this break when third-party management tools overwrite Jellyfin auth states, so I’d keep a single source of truth. One thing I’d also verify early: whether your VPS actually supports sustained bitrate for multiple HD streams, because no software fix can compensate for underpowered bandwidth or CPU limits. Do you already have a VPS chosen, or should I size one based on your expected stream quality (1080p vs mixed)? Looking forward to working with you. Srdjan

Hi! Your focus on using Jellyfin with Gelato for simple, manual user management (no payment gateway) is spot on for small streaming setups. Getting both Swiftfin (iOS) and a good Android app cleanly integrated is smart, since native playback can get tricky if SSL or reverse proxy isn't set up right. I've set up media servers on VPS for clients before, including SSL hardening, reverse proxies (Nginx), and external client compatibility. I also have experience with user-friendly admin layers like Gelato to keep things simple for ongoing management. One quick question: do you need the server locked to specific networks/locations, or can your users log in from anywhere? This impacts both performance settings and how I'd secure the endpoint.

The complexity of deploying 500+ SOCKS5 proxies requires a robust solution like Docker container orchestration combined with a service mesh for effective management. Utilizing 3proxy for its lightweight footprint and flexibility is advisable, especially with automated scripts for seamless deployment. I have successfully implemented failover IP strategies and integrated health monitoring using Prometheus and custom alerting. Initial deliverable will be ready in 14 days, including thorough documentation and a monitoring dashboard. What does success look like for you at the end of this project?

Jellyfin on Ubuntu VPS is a clean setup. I would install the server, configure Nginx as a reverse proxy, and attach a Let's Encrypt SSL cert so you get a working HTTPS URL in about 24 hours. If Gelato also needs configuring, that adds maybe half a day. Available to start right now. The bid reflects what's in the description. Final numbers come after we walk through the full scope together. Want to jump on a quick call?
