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.

*Edit: I am blown away by all the help and support! I currently have tailscale running, and I’m in the process of purchasing a domain.

Thanks everyone!

    Like I said, if you’ve hooked up 20 of your best buds to your JF, then yeah they’d probably have an issue with that. Personal use, I doubt they’d care really.

      I haven’t had any issues with friends streaming 4k! I probably should add a data cap in the Jellyfin settings, though
