Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing
boonhet@lemm.ee 5 days agoWhat’s missing from Jellyfin for you?
I’m going to migrate over soon personally. I canceled my plex pass instead of upgrading to lifetime a few months ago because I felt like Plex was going to go down enshittification alley soon. I haven’t used Jellyfin much though, so not sure what to expect at this point. I don’t have a lot of users luckily

Public exposure to the Internet without needing tailscale or a VPN. I keep hearing mixed opinions on whether it’s recommended or not.
I’m not afraid of configuring it, reverse proxy and all that. I just want it to be secure, and I keep getting mixed signals.
For now I’ll keep dealing with Plex, but eventually I’m sure I’ll need to figure out a solution using jellyfin.

Ah, personally I just figured I’d use wireguard. I have few enough users that a bit of setup isn’t a huge issue. No way I’d want to expose it completely publicly, same with any other home servers I run.
The public availability without open ports is indeed a strength of Plex.

I think setting up a reverse proxy for accessing Jellyfin would be fine, just make sure you’ve got your firewall setup accordingly to limit exposure should someone gain access to the container/VM running Jellyfin

Thanks, I’m hearing similar things in this thread. I’m gonna look into it
