Use wireguard or Tailscale.

This really isn’t viable as WireGuard clients are just that, single device per client connection, what if someone started watching/listening content on their phone then all of sudden wanted to switch over to their TV or streaming device without having to go through a lot of hoops?
I opted to reverse proxy Jellyfin with Traefik however have fail2ban setup blocking every IP and only whitelisting the known users, added bonus of hiding Jellyfin’s default login form and required Keycloak for SSO.

What if they watch from their phones cell data or while traveling?

Jellyfin thankfully lets you download content offline alternatively they just text me the IP and I whitelist it then blacklist it a week later, granted if I remember.

if it's just family and friends you care about, it was pretty easy for me to set up a jellyfin server at home and point a really small virtualhost on a server mapped to a domain name with a reverse proxy to my home ip and then just opening up the jellyfin port on my router. this was literally just for my mum and dad and brother so ymmv.

We have different definitions of pretty easy, I said one-click
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
Oh, it’s actually 0-click (though a couple dozen key presses)

sorry i thought you meant one click for family and friends to get on not initial setup.

“pretty easy” is a bit of a stretch

LMAO. Those are all words I’ve heard before, but that sounds waaaaay over my head!
