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.

My understanding is that there is no hard limit. At some point they will decide “this is business level traffic” at which point they will start harassing you to purchase a business plan.

That cutover point is unknown. I’ve never even seen an estimation of when it happens, so it could very well be the type of traffic instead of the amount.

They also only allow HTTP traffic for the free tier, which is another way they push you towards business tiers.

I don't think that's true. I'm pretty certain all of my domains are HTTPS only, but maybe that's because I own the domain? Does cloudflare offer free domain names for tunneled traffic?

HTTPS traffic is still HTTP traffic. There’s just an encryption layer in there.

And yes cloudflare absolutely supports https.

Okay. Carry on. I was thinking that you meant the free tier didn't support HTTPS encrypted traffic. I didnt want someone to rule out that option based on a false assumption. Sorry for the confusion.
