I have docker installed, but only have a vague idea of how it works.

Back in the day, I would just port forward, but even then, I would need a static IP somehow.

I have heard a reverse proxy is an option, but that is an entirely new topic to me.

Surely there is an easy way to access Jellyfin outside of my home network that I’m just missing.

*Edit: I am blown away by all the help and support! I currently have tailscale running, and I’m in the process of purchasing a domain.

Thanks everyone!

    X.509 is trash. Onion Services have a much better auth for both client and server

      What benefit does that give you for media viewing?

      What exactly about X.509 is trash for that use case?

        CAs and their subordinate certs have a long history of loosing control of their private keys to attackers.

        And also many State-sponsored cyber mercenaries have been given certs in the root stores.

        Onion Services fix this by using a single pinned cert.
