Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns

I have a static IP provided by my ISP. I own my own domain name. I use BunnyCDN to manage my DNS.
On my server I run Jellyfin and reverse proxy with Caddy, I also run Fail2Ban. Caddy has built in SSL certification.
After I set it all up (which took me a few tries to get it all right as I was learning on the go) it just runs with no apparent problems. I check logs and monitor it regularly however so far I haven't had any problems.
The Jellyfin address is shared only to a few family members.
I'm in the EU so GDPR applies and none of the involved companies is datamining my stuff.
Their policies are to be non-invasive.

I am in the same boat (learning on the go, living in EU and using fail2ban and reverse proxy although I use nginx). Sounds good that it runs so well for you! Where did you register your domain? I’ll look into BunnyCDN as well.

It's a domain I've had for 15 years (I keep renewing) and I registered with 123-reg.
If you 're in the EU definitely check out Bunny. They're based in Slovenia. I used their free trial, to test it all out. After that their pricing is competitive, and mostly if you're a single user homelab type you'll pay nothing. At least, that's been my experience for the past 8 months. My use falls well under their provided no charge tier.
I looked at using nginx however I liked what I read and saw of Caddy (it seemed easier for me). I don't do anything very clever and Caddy is working great for me.
*I'm not associated with them other than to be a customer. Prior to switching to Bunny I used Cloudflare free level but I wanted to get away from anything associated with the USA and their (lack of ) data protection laws.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions and feedback! I also would like to use services within the EU, so I will give Bunny a closer look.
