JellyOcean – Managed Jellyfin Servers

This removes the friction of standing up Jellyfin by provisioning servers in your cloud account and giving each user neat subdomains and personal instances — smart for households who want control without manual orchestration. Deduplication and per-user quotas are useful features, but the site glosses over critical details like backup/restore, multi-tenant isolation, cost controls and security model for spawning cloud VMs.
