Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!

Dirt simplest solution is caddy on the same jellyfin server and port forward 443 and 80 on your router to that host. Hopefully letsencrypt will work without a domain but I’m not sure.

That’s basically what I do right now except I do have a domain and my ISP doesn’t restrict inbound ports like 443 so it works fine.
Just trying to sort out if I want the headache of a VPS if I don’t need it (costs, maintenance, point of failure, etc).

Sounds like you don’t need the VPS then. Add a subdomain to your home IP. Port forward 443 and 80 to the sever. Run caddy to route the subdomain to localhost:8096. You will also need to tell jellyfin to accept on the new domain.
