Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi y’all, thanks for the help with my question yesterday. I did a bit of homework, and I think I’ve got things figured out. Here’s my revised plan:

  1. configure a cron job to update DuckDNS with my IP address every 5 minutes

  2. use ufw to block all incoming traffic, except to ports 80 and 443, to allow incoming traffic to reach Caddy

  3. configure the Caddyfile to direct traffic from my DuckDNS subdomain to Jellyfin’s port

Does this seem right this time? Am I missing anything, or unnecessarily adding steps? Thanks in advance, I’ll get the hang of all this someday!

I’d like to be able to share it with friends and family

Tailscale has the Funnel feature too, which puts the endpoint on Tailscale's servers.

You could do both - Funnel for people who you don't want to walk through setting up a client, and use the client for those who you're willing to put the effort into.

My preference would be to avoid Tailscale, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I second this for the funnel feature

It made my whole issue with ports easy since it forwards only one open port

Tailscale allows you to do the same except you can create keys with limited access to only certain ports (just in case you don't want them peeking around your server).
