Can you point me in the direction of doing this in jellyfin? I keep finding guides and things for tailscale and whatnot but I too would like to just be able to install jellyfin on something and connect to my server.

Sorry, saw this only just now. I don’t really have any guides to point to, so just the basic steps:

host jellyfin locally, e.g. on 192.168.10.10:8096

configure some reverse proxy (nginx, caddy, in my case it’s haproxy managed through OPNSense)

that proxy should handle https (i.e. Let’s Encrypt) certificates

it should only forward https traffic for (for example) jellyfin.yourdomain.com to your Jellyfin server

create a DNS entry for jellyfin.yourexample.com pointing either to your static IP, or have some DynDNS mechanism to update the entry

90% of this is applicable to any “how to host x publicly” question, and is mostly a one-time setup. Ideally, have the proxy running on a different VM/hardware, e.g. a firewall, and do think about how well you want/need to secure the network.

In any case, you then just put in jellyfin.yourdomain.com in the hotel TV.
