Use case

Jellyfin server hosting,
without the gatekeeping.

The open-source Plex alternative - no premium tier, no Plex Pass, no account on someone else's server. Pulsar67 NVMe storage means snappy library scans and instant seeks. Stream your collection from anywhere, on your own terms. From $5/mo.

Why Jellyfin

Your media, your server, your rules.

Plex keeps adding ads, walls off features behind subscriptions, and routes auth through their cloud. Jellyfin does the same job - Movies, TV, Music, Books, Photos - and the whole stack lives on a server you control.

No account on someone else's auth server. No analytics. No "we may discontinue this feature." Just MPV-quality streaming over the open internet, with the apps you choose.

Truly open

GPLv2. No "freemium." Every feature, no upsell, no telemetry pinging home.

NVMe library scans

20,000-file libraries scan in minutes, not hours. Posters, metadata, intro detection all stay snappy.

Apps everywhere

Android, iOS, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, Kodi add-on, web player.

Multi-user friendly

Per-user libraries, watch state, parental controls. Share with family without sharing logins.

Recommended plan

Sizing for storage and transcoding.

Direct-play (no transcoding) is cheap. Transcoding 4K HEVC to 1080p H.264 in real time wants more CPU.

Pulsar Starter
Direct-play, small library
$5/mo
  • 1 vCPU
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 40 GB NVMe
  • Music + small movie library, no transcode
Order Starter
Pulsar Enterprise
Family sharing, multiple streams
$45/mo
  • 8 vCPU
  • 32 GB RAM
  • 500 GB NVMe
  • 4-5 concurrent transcodes, larger library
Order Enterprise
What you'll need

Getting Jellyfin online.

Docker or apt - either works. Pick your poison.

Why Pulsar67

A media server that actually performs.

Real NVMe

Not "SSD-tier" virtualized over a slow backend. Direct NVMe, fast seeks, no scan lag.

Bandwidth that streams

1080p Blu-ray rips push ~25 Mbps each. Pro plan handles 4 simultaneous remote streams comfortably.

DDoS protected

Got a public Jellyfin URL? It won't go down when a bored teenager finds it.

Your media is yours

We don't scan your storage, fingerprint your files, or care what you watch. It's your server.
