Hello everyone,
I want to create a Tailscale account to access my Jellyfin server from outside my home, but I’m already stuck at the first step: to create an account, you need either a GAFAM account or OIDC. I don’t have any personal accounts with GAFAM because of Lemmy’s bad influence. My emails are on Tuta. I don’t want to overcomplicate things as I’m a noob, but after spending 30 minutes researching OIDC, I still don’t know where to start… I don’t work in IT (at all).
Is it better to just give up and create a throwaway account with a GAFAM platform, or is there a simple way to do this with OIDC? If so, can anyone point me the way? Is there a free reliable OIDC provider? Will that make things complicated afterward with tail scale?
For more context: I turned my old gaming PC into a media center running Fedora and a Jellyfin server that I access locally. I was surprised by how relatively simple it all was, especially getting Jellyfin to work locally.
Obviously, I wanted to use Tailscale to connect to Jellyfin remotely, but I never had time to look into it. I was told this morning that I’m going to undergo major surgery with a significant recovery period ahead, so suddenly this has become urgent…
They all seem self hosted and I am not yet to the point where I feel at ease with that as it seems to be “exposed” (I don’t really know what it means to be honest). I do intend to get into this kind of stuff later though.
Sure, sorry, you’re in the selfhosted community, so I sent some self hosted options 😆 If you own one of the internet/wifi routers with Wireguard built in (FritzBox, MikroTik, etc…) that might be an option as well. Other than that, I never tried any of the commercial options, so all I have are self-hosted options.
