Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media
sonofearth@lemmy.world 1 day agoStatic IP for what? As long as you know the ip address of your jellyfin server you can connect to it. A static IP is just good to have for ease of remembering, using your own domain (not that you can’t do it with Dynamic addresses) or if you are integrating other services with it. This applies to any service you host.

Most ISP connection are behind CGNAT(ipv4), and in case of ipv6 to have a secure connection wouldn’t that require SSL certificate and a domain?

Jellyfin expects you to actually host it yourself, instead of baking in a proxy and selling you the service.
There are plenty of free subdomain providers, and let’s encrypt gives out free certs.
If you’re not hosting through a VPN you should consider those a requirement so you’re not sending an unencrypted password to your jellyfin instance over the internet. Regardless of your ISP situation…

I’m hearing a common theme to poor application security here.

I have Pangolin setup on a VPS so I and my family can access it externally. It “bypasses” my router’s firewall. Tailscale was a stupid solution because a lot of people will be using it and I don’t want to maintain another service and be tech support for their tailscsle client. So the only thing I did to restrict access was by geoblocking.
