I don’t use tailscale but this doesn’t make sense.
If the only remote access is via tailscale then chromecast also has to be on tailscale, which isn’t easy to do.
To cast from your jellyfin to another tv, you need to setup a reverse proxy om your server to allow external access to jellyfin.
A lot of threads on jellyfin keep recommending tailscale which is easier to setup but more limiting.
I would recommend searching for tutorials about setting up a reverse proxy like caddy to NPM and then accessing jellyfin though a URL. That way you can give access to other people and also cast to a friends TV.
Same situation for things like immich if you ever want to share an album with a friend.




If i remember correctly on my gitea (now forgejo) the default is open registration which really shouldn’t be the case for projects that are targeted towards self hosters.
My inital install was a long time ago so I don’t remember for sure
