It’s against Cloudflare TOS to stream video.
Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing
bktheman@awful.systems 3 days agoCan you elaborate? I’ve been trying to find a way to expose jf to the Internet safely without a VPN, and I’m getting mixed messages from people.
I just got a cloudfare domain the other day actually.

At all? Even just using their reverse proxy?

Unless you host the videos with them an use their Stream solution yes.

Well that’s annoying.
Forgive me for my ignorance, I know a lot of services are bundled in their domain registration. I haven’t looked into it at all. But I’m assuming I can just bypass all of that and host ngnx?

It’s against tos to stream video you don’t own the rights to

It depends on how you’re hosting Jellyfin. The easiest and most common way is via Docker in some form. You can also install a docker image of Cloudflare tunnel making sure it’s on the same virtual network as Jellyfin (I think it will by default). However you’re running Jellyfin, Cloudflare tunnel will need to be able to reach your local Jellyfin install.
Create a tunnel in the Cloudflare zero trust dashboard, create or edit the config file for your Cloudflare tunnel install using the code string from the zero trust dashboard, your tunnel will attempt to connect to the Cloudflare servers, when it does, you have a secure tunnel. Then you can add hostnames on the zero trust dashboard, using your local IP addresses and ports. For example, jellyfin.yourdomain.com points to 192.168.1.10:8096. The tunnel connects your local IP to the routing from your domain.
Be careful to not open this up to apps that don’t have security in some form at least. There are ways to improve security on your tunnel end with SWAG and such. And I recommend turning on the security tools in Cloudflare so your domain can’t be accessed outside of your country at the least, and maybe even whitelisting IP addresses for even more security.
SpaceInvaderOne on YouTube has a good video on creating a Cloudflare tunnel via Unraid. But everything is much the same in regular docker. I’m sure there’s good videos on doing it however you’re hosting Jellyfin. Feel free to reach out with questions, I’ll gladly help if I can.

Amazing thank you, when I get time to sit down with this I will probably have more questions!
