Yes, that’s the whole reason for the post, as I said above. When you say “docker anyway for convenience” what do you mean? What’s the benefit of docker? Do you have any resources that would let someone entirely new to docker understand/guide through it? You mention Traefik as well… never heard of it till this post… what is it? Why is it convenient?

VPN. Jellyfin is not intended for direct exposure to the Internet.
You should run it in docker anyway for convenience. A reverse proxy is optional, but I use traefik also for convenience (so that I can just use domain names on the same port, and so that it can automatically fetch certs).

Docker packs the whole application and its dependencies into a container, hence the name. You can run and delete that application as much as you want without affecting the host system. (But you should probably keep your media library and config outside the container, and use a bind mount. The setup documentation covers this.)

Use the reverse proxy for access control ? Then you don’t need to install extra software to access it remotely ?

I don’t think jellyfin supports that either. I tried it a while back and only saw partial success.
