Yeah, no way. Jellyfins Backend is like an open barn door. And with the kind of content most of us here offer through either Jellyfin or Plex, I wouldn’t want to open up like that.

Anecdotal but I’ve run Jellyfin publicly without any issues for around 5 years. It even has its own domain name.

Isn’t there an assumption it would be behind a reverse proxy… At least I hope that’s the assumption.

Doesn’t do shit when large parts of the Backend are not authenticated

What kids of things?
I’ve never worried that much because it’s not critical data and it’s containerised in Docker, but I am curious about specifics because large numbers of people expose it to the internet (through reverse proxies).
