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!

    As averse as I am to spending money on subscription services, having my own domain for less than 30 bucks a year might be worth it.

    I think I’m going to try out the tailscale VPN route first before I fully warm up to buying a domain.

    *Edit-You’ve definitely got me sold on getting a domain! Thank you so much for all the info!

      Glad I could help. I’m not always immediately available, but I don’t mind answering questions if you run into troubles. Just send me a DM and I’ll do what I can. :)
