Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network for free? (anarchist.nexus)

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!

I've been with NameCheap for over a decade. They're a relatively quiet company that's been around a while.

They've never done anything to make me want to change providers. Have my email through them as well. Good uptime. Ok-ish prices. Good customer service the one time I've needed it. Web site takes some getting used to, but it's also never changed since I started using them.

Only thing they did once was lock me out of my account with endless CAPTCHAs, even with 2FA enabled.

Eventually they fixed it
