Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years
nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 day agoI set up a free dns from duckdns.org and pointed it to my jellyfin server. All my parents had to do was to use that randomserver.duckdns.org as the server url in the jellyfin app.

Doesn’t that mean your jellyfin server is directly exposed to the Internet? The very thing everyone constantly warns against?
I’m still on Plex, one of my biggest hangups with JF is that the remote access is kludgy

It’s been running on caddy + duckdns for 5 years or more now. I use a non standard jellyfin port for the port forwarding, so that probably helps. Also, there’s probably an aspect of security by obscurity.
