If it's in your own LAN then there's no setup. Just point to the internal IP after spinning up the docker image.
Sure but that's not the scenario I was describing. Internally on my LAN is fine but I share Plex with friends and family throughout the world. Plex setup just works whereas Jellyfin requires more.
More work to port forward?
While I could go through doing that, I personally do not want to have it be my public IP address and that port. I would want to set up a reverse proxy with HTTPS and a domain or something if that sort.
