Jellyfin over the internet (startrek.website)

What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

I don't use jellyfin but my general approach is either:

Expose it over a VPN only. I usually use Tailscale for this so that I can expose individual machines but you do you
Cloudflare tunnel that exposes a single port on a single internal machine to a subdomain I own

There are obviously ways to do this all on your own but... if you are asking this question you probably want to use one of those to roll it. Because you can leave yourself ridiculously vulnerable if you do it yourself.

That’s my feeling too

I would look into Tailscale based on your responses here. I don’t know what your use case is exactly but you set TS up on your server and then again on your phone/laptop and you can connect them through the vpn directly. No extra exposed ports or making a domain or whatnot.

If you want other people to access the server they will need to make a TS account and you can authorize them.
