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.

https://netbird.io/ for your own private network of trusted devices, it's free and doesn't require a separate Big Tech account to use (unlike Tailscale)

And then if you want to share Jellyfin with someone who isn't in your Netbird network... believe it or not, also Netbird

is this much different than nginx?

[–] uthredii@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

Yes, it is easier and safer for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to set up.

Does it work with a reverse proxy?

[–] uthredii@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It has functionality to let you set up a reverse proxy (in beta). But you can access all your services by using the zero trust vpn

Nice! Maybe I'll try the beta. Been wanting to tinker around with my set up recently
