I have docker installed, but only have a vague idea of how it works.

Back in the day, I would just port forward, but even then, I would need a static IP somehow.

I have heard a reverse proxy is an option, but that is an entirely new topic to me.

Surely there is an easy way to access Jellyfin outside of my home network that I’m just missing.

*Edit: I am blown away by all the help and support! I currently have tailscale running, and I’m in the process of purchasing a domain.

Thanks everyone!

      Like I said, if you’ve hooked up 20 of your best buds to your JF, then yeah they’d probably have an issue with that. Personal use, I doubt they’d care really.

        Still only tolerated.
        Walking a fime line on getting your account closed/domain banned or at the very least receiving a warning.

        Wishing you best of luck not getting banned.

          Well, to cut through the FUD, we’ll have to look at the operative words which are: ‘disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files’. It’s not saying, you can’t stream a video or some audio, or look at your pictures. So, yeah, I think I’m good, and if it does happen, drop back to option 2. No biggie.

            They explicitly mention non-legal content.
            Immich? Safe (we are not looking at 20GB pictures/videos)
            Static pages from containers? Should be safe
            Jellyfin/Plex? Walking the line on getting banned.

            Cloudflare is replacable but it will be heavily annoying to do so.
            And I’d rather not do it unprepared.

              I don’t run JF or any parts of the *arr stack, so legal/shady video content isn’t a concern. I do stream my private/physical audio collection via Navidrome I’ve been amassing for decades all converted out to flac. I mean, from Cloudflare’s standpoint, I think it’s reasonable and understandable.

        I haven’t had any issues with friends streaming 4k! I probably should add a data cap in the Jellyfin settings, though
