I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?

I have another site on a different port that sits behind basic auth and adds the IP to a short ipset whitelist.

So first I have to auth into that site with basic auth, then I load jellyfin on the other port.
