Comment on Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin?

  Do you have a guide somewhere on how to set it up? I’ve poked around online and didn’t see anything short of tailscaling your container to a web browser which I don’t want to do for a few different reasons (opening ports / security mostly)

    Tailscale doesn’t require any ports open, or using a web browser with a container, it’s just a VPN which is a good way of doing it.

    Or you can just open it up with a reverse proxy like any other web server, but I prefer not to do that.

      I get that it may be technically possible but that is leaps and bounds different than having my senior dad make a Plex account on his fire stick so he can watch movies with his niece, or my fiance’s boss is in the hospital with cancer right now and is watching things on his iPad.

      I already have a hard time getting people to just make a Plex account and watch on my server and that’s the “easy” route.

        Yeah I don’t bother with other people on my server unless they really want to, I’ve long ago given up trying to convince anyone to change their ways, it’s up to them.

    I use nginx proxy manager and expose it behind a subdomain entry on cloudflare (though you can use any DDNS service i bet). NPM handles the security so I get HSTS and HTTPS on Plex and Jellyfin without either needing it set themselves.

    From there anyone can access Jellyfin/Plex via my subdomains (plex.mydomain.com or watch.mydomain.com at the mo)
