Like approximately every nerd in the world, I have a RaspberryPi sat in the corner of the room gathering dust. Some time ago, in an exciting burst of “I will finally do something with it”, I bought it a Display HAT Mini as a treat. That too, sat gathering dust.
More recently, I cancelled my music streaming subscription due to financial ethical constraints, and thanks to an old external hard drive and even older MP3 library, it was suddenly time for the Raspberry Pi’s “I’ve trained my whole life for this moment”. One JellyFin install later, I had a free and functional streaming service of my very own. But the Display HAT was jealous, and so was born… JellyHat.
