I see the unit now, your easiest mod is probably a thick thermal pad to transfer heat to the chassis. It might work out well if you combine that with those graphene heatsink stickers. (SSD > graphene heatsink sticker > thermal pad > chassis)

I have a feeling you might not have a good time with a standard SSD heatsink/dissipator. Those usually work best with at least a little bit of airflow. It might not be much different once the heatsink fully saturates. The heat needs to go somewhere

    like others have asked, what case/mobo/SSD brand?

    is the SSD on the front side or back side of the mobo?

    sometimes what I do if the SSD is on the backside (and theres no mobo tray cutout), is to get a nice thick 10mm+ thermal pad and have it transfer heat to the motherboard tray.

    if you can't get airflow or fans to where the SSD is, your best bet is to try to transfer it somewhere else (aka case).

    you can actually get copper heatpipe assemblies of different sizes/lengths/angles to help transfer the heat

    There's another trick I use sometimes when nothing else works..

    • Use ANOTHER computer to install Windows onto the the original laptop drive. (make sure that computer you're using has no other drives plugged in).

    • once the installation process is complete, during the reboot countdown, turn off the computer instead, don't let it reboot.

    • install the drive back into the original computer

    I've used that method to get around off lease or auction laptops where I couldn't reset/remove/clear/reflash the bios password and all the boot stuff/order is locked down

    This was the security report from awhile back:

    https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

    Lot's of things have been fixed but theres still much to do. The issue was broken down to smaller issues for tracking and I check back every once in a while.

    Even if there were no security issues, exposing jellyfin is also another can... choice of:

    1. open up ports
    2. cloudflare (and potential ban for video content on the free tier, even if caching is disabled)
    3. vps with enough bandwidth

    There's still a bunch of outstanding API security issues last I checked, so it's not secure enough for me to open to the web.

    Teaching friends and family to use it with a VPN is a whole another can. Also, you'll have to make sure the VPN is secure and users don't have access to the rest of your network...

    and then you'll have to deal with client apps/access for mobile, android boxes, TVs, and Chromecasts...

    I got lucky with the Plex Pass too so I can only ride this out to the end until Jellyfin catches up. (also, I'm not good to contribute code)
