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!

    for a beginner with just a few remote clients, tailscale all the way.

    though I still like doing it the old way with a custom nginx setup, fail2ban and a domain name, but its more work to make it secure and even then it’s still somewhat of a liability.

      How stable is tail scale in teal life? I constantly have issues with relay servers not being available, spontaneous logouts, etc…

      I want to use it, but I also want my wife to use it and she will need a “no matter what, it must work” solution or she won’t use it
