Protip: Don’t fucking do this
Comment on Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network

since you’re a jellyfin user I’ll give you the best solution.
expose ports 80, 22, and 3306 of your server to the internet.
better yet, just make a DMZ to your server from the internet.
then you can stream, ssh, and query your database from anywhere in the world.

I’m tired of this same exact question being asked over and over and over again. so every time it’s asked I’m going to tell them to expose everything to the internet.
if you can’t learn to search and solve your own problems you kind of deserve the obtusely wrong answers.

Then ignore the post. I hope you never need to ask a question to someone as disgruntled as you in the future. What an asshole.
Picture anything you’re not skilled at. You’d probably ask someone who is skilled at said thing about a problem you have. Now imagine them responding to you like this.

hard to do that when this question is posted twice a week.

Woe is me! you know what I do? I use my eyes and brain to read and learn. I search for my question first before wasting the time of others. why do you think that is? probably because you learn more about something by investing time and effort into a topic you’re unskilled at.

hard to picture that because when I am unskilled at something I teach myself to be skilled. I do this by reading, observing, and trial & error.
I get it, not everyone is as amazing as I am. But the bar is pretty low since this question has been answered a dozen or more times not only on this community but on hundreds of other communities. there is literally no good excuse to not search for your solution and learn from it.
I built my first PC by myself. no documents. no help. hell it was just after dialup was a “thing”. I burned up a few components in the process. guess what, I taught myself how to fix them too. I went to the library, I read books, took notes, did the things. I learned how to read schematics, I learned how to salvage components, learned a lot.
I think you can too, if you weren’t so lazy looking for the easy answer.

The responses I received were exponentially more helpful than scouring for the information myself.
Everyone here had experience and expertise that I did not, and I had a working solution running on my computer within 10 minutes of asking.
Part of the purpose of a community like this is evident in posts like this.
Your response, though funny, is damaging to the community, and unhelpful at best.
I understand where you were coming from, but please don’t.

lazy people being lazy.

but do you actually understand the solution you used or did you just “follow the recipe”. knowing how to make brownies is nice, but knowing why brownies brownie allow you to make a better brownie.
not saying don’t ask questions, but asking less generic questions help build a stronger community. Questions like, “what are the benefits to exposing jellyfin publicly using tailscale vs just opening ports?” or “how does tailscale protect my private network from attacks when it’s used to expose jellyfin publicly?”
Your response, though funny, is damaging to the community, and unhelpful at best.
can’t be any more damaging than asking the same question 300 different ways because “The responses I received were exponentially more helpful than scouring for the information myself”.
we’re not your LLM agent. we’re not your search engine. we’re a community with experience and opinions. use us for that.

This is how I would have done it in 2001.
It is my understanding that the only reason to go this route in this day and age is if you prefer to survive off the tears of cybersecurity professionals.

who needs cybersecurity? nothing bad should happen.
