Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network for free? (anarchist.nexus)

I have docker installed, but only have a vague idea of how it works.

Back in the day, I would just port forward, but even then, I would need a static IP somehow.

I have heard a reverse proxy is an option, but that is an entirely new topic to me.

Surely there is an easy way to access Jellyfin outside of my home network that I'm just missing.

Tailscale. It's free. Insanely easy to set up.

Just install on your devices and connect via the given tailscale ip for the jellyfin server.

Or head scale if you don’t want something you don’t control that requires an account with google/apple/microsoft

Headscale is great but requires port forwarding which, aside from having its own iasues, is something op wants to avoid.

I would also propose going with Tailscale instead If a VPN + DynDNS solution. Imho it is a lot easier to Setup compared to VPN + DynDNS If you are a beginner and just starting out.

If at some point you need more and then is available in the free Tier of Tailscale and you do not want to pay for it (and you have built up some knowledge!) you can switch to something like Headscale or Netbird.

I forgot to mention that one because I kinda thought it belongs with radmin and hamachi, but it's my choice as well currently.

I am using it with my own Headscale though, so add a domain to that as well.

And I finally need to switch my vaultwarden to work over tailscale & LAN finally, it's a huge security risk to expose that one.
