I think the big deciding factor is how many folks will be watching remotely.

For my case, I use a VPN to tunnel back to my network and watch jellyfin that way. My son also lives away and watches jellyfin, but for him I simply punch a hole in my firewall for only his public ip, which doesn’t change much.

This works for me, but had to host for any more ppl, I would likely go the caddy route.
