Given the recent news about Plex soon charging for remote access, I wanted to finish up my switch to Jellyfin.

What tools/methods have you all used to migrate watch history to Jellyfin?

I have a few family members in there, and would like to get everything switched over without resetting their watch history.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think jellyfin offers remote access to your media

It does, just not thorugh their servers like Plex does.

Do you have a guide somewhere on how to set it up? I've poked around online and didn't see anything short of tailscaling your container to a web browser which I don't want to do for a few different reasons (opening ports / security mostly)

I use nginx proxy manager and expose it behind a subdomain entry on cloudflare (though you can use any DDNS service i bet). NPM handles the security so I get HSTS and HTTPS on Plex and Jellyfin without either needing it set themselves.

From there anyone can access Jellyfin/Plex via my subdomains (plex.mydomain.com or watch.mydomain.com at the mo)
