Get Jellyfin off the open internet. For family who'll never install a VPN app, the setup that holds up is WireGuard on their router, or Tailscale on whatever TV box they use, set up before it ever ships to them. They never see it. If something has to stay public, CrowdSec plus Pocket-ID is a lot lighter than Authentik for three users. I'm building a home box that ships locked down like this by default, so I'm curious: which broke first for your family, remote access or the logins?
Jellyfin on the open internet is FINE.
Agreed.
Secure it properly and you wont be pwned instantly.
My setup:
WAN -> OPNsense -> CrowdSec on FW and docker server -> Traefik -> Authelia middleware -> Jellyfin.
I also have a geoblock active on the Cloudflare domain and directly on my opnsense.
Most datacenter ASNs are also blocked. They don't need to connect to me.
Yes, first party apps are broken but the browser works good enough and if I meed it, I have a VPN for myself.
Relatives get web browser or I'll consider a S2S VPN setup.
How would you handle a mother in law at a retirement community with a Roku and no access to the router that serves the condo?
Get a router/travel router and set it up as a gateway where it provides its own SSID for the Roku to connect to. Basically a bridge to the complex, where you can inject some software. A lot of the travel devices have baked in Wireguard+Tailnet support. iNet are generally good products.
@Klox This is exactly what I do in my RV. Easy, cheap, reliable.
Yeah that's kinda my situation as well, but they have a firestick.
@Blue_Morpho @heyeddi
Something like tailscale could be the solution
There's no tailscale for Roku.
