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.

Some .xyz domains cost less than 1$. Mine is 0,85$/year

What do you do, randomise it every year?

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah same domain, 0,85$/year. It's 8 numbers + .xyz

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Wow thanks!! Looks like it works with 6-9 numbers

You get to pick your numbers

On June 1, 2017, .XYZ launched the 1.111B class .xyz domains, cheap domains priced at US$0.99 per year and renewed at the same price. The class of domains consists of six-, seven-, eight-, and nine-digit numeric combinations between 000000.xyz and 999999999.xyz. Daniel Negari, CEO of .XYZ, stated that it was meant to bring competition, choice, and innovation to the market
