Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I love Jellyfin but I would absolutely not make it accessible over the public internet. A VPN is the way to go.
Yeah I'm thinking maybe just have family sign up for tailscale.
Why not just run your own WireGuard instance? I have a pivpn vm for it and it works great. You could also just put jellyfin behind a TLS terminating reverse proxy.
Sounds like a pain to get non technical family members to use. If you're willing to break the non web app you could always put it behind an authenticating proxy (which is what I do for myself outside of VPN, setting up a VPN on a phone is obnoxious and I only look at metadata anyway on my phone)
Or headscale, works like a charm
CGNAT is a big reason.
Yep, that way you can set ACLs, you they can only access the jellyfin ports + the ports you allow them to.
Also, tailacale DNS.
The fact that tailscale has google/apple/etc logon integration will also help.
Why "absolutely" not?

Unfortunately a lot of these issues are architectural issues inherited from Emby
