I have mine behind a caddy reverse proxy that forces https. I think that handles most sniffing concerns
Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced
roofuskit@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoYes-ish, it’s harder for you than the users. But you will have to secure a URL and they will have to remember that URL. Also there’s some security issues with some unsecured endpoints on Jellyfin. That said I have mine out there exposed to the net and am comfortable enough with it.

I already have to expose my Plex Media Server with a Tailscsle funnel (for IPv4 only) for IPv6 I use my Synology NAS reverse proxy which can be accessed globally.
I have been maining this setup for years now that I forgot if I can access my PMS outside without either those solutions lol (I am GGNATED but IPv6 works fine as stated).
The main thing here is that I don’t need my users to do anything, they just open the app and access it, no need to remember IPs/URLs or install VPNs to my server… Is that possible with Jellyfin as well?

Yes you can do the same thing for Jellyfin. I use Synology ddns and setup subdomain in reverse proxy to jellyfin port. For tailscale, I previously use this but needs to add the jellyfin port after the tailscale IP.

No, there’s not centralized host server to connect your users with your server. They need a fixed IP or URL to access your server from outside your network.

So how do they access from, let’s say a Smart TV/Android TV device?

Jellyfin apps ask you for three things in order to login: URL, username, password.
