Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly
innocentzero@kbin.earth 3 weeks ago Opening jellyfin up publicly is kind of asking for trouble if you ask me. I haven't done so myself, but seen enough on this community and elsewhere to know that it's probably not a good idea.
By all means correct me if you know more, but what I tend to see is one or two people here saying that Jellyfin devs don’t recommend exposing it publicly, only to be corrected by looking at the actual documentation. I suspect those cautioning against it are on outdated information and that Jellyfin carries much the same risk as exposing any other service.
I think what the devs are saying is ‘don’t expose Jellyfin to the public in an unsafe manner’. I don’t run Jellyfin, but can confirm what you’ve read here. In that vein, don’t expose anything to the public in an unsafe manner.

There is no safe manner of exposing jellyfin.
Again, I do not run Jellyfin, but what you’re saying seems contradictory to what the devs are implying: here and here. Since I lack the hands on experience, I will leave the issue with the experts.
