Jellyfin over the internet (startrek.website)

What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

I'm trying to self host navidrome in docker with a cloudflare domain and reverse proxy on the same network. Still fiddling myself since I keep getting a 403 cloudflare no access error.

Essentially, using cert provided by cloudflare where they proxy to my ip. From there the reverse proxy routes to my service. If I'm understanding it right, anyone with my domain would only see cloudflare ip instead of my own. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still learning this stuff as well.

Prior to this, I was using tailscale which worked fine but I'd have to connect via tailscale everytime and some instances, it wouldn't connect properly at all.

I'm using a cheap VPS that connects over Tailscale to my home server. The VPS runs Nginx Proxy Manager, has a firewall and the provider offers DDOS protection and that's it.

Unifi teleport. A zero configuration VPN to my home network.

I’m fidgeting with Tailscale but I find this solution some what lacking

no idea how safe or secure but i use cloudflare tunnel to point my jellyfin port on my computer

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Someone mentioned above that cloudflare will ban you for streaming through their tunnel. Just be warned.

My router has a VPN server built-in. I usually use that.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl 2 points 22 hours ago

With wireguard i set up an easy VPN, then vpn to the home network and use jellyfin.

If i cant use vpn, i have Jellyfin behind a caddy server with automatic https and some security settings.

Set up a VPN, use PiVPN

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I’ll try looking into that

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Just remember to test with something better than your phone, T-Mobile aggressively filters VPNs. Try a coffee shop.

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 2 points 21 hours ago

Not in the US, most providers are asshole-y but seems less asshole that T-Mobile

@TribblesBestFriend @selfhosted Tailscale. I also use a reverse proxy because I like nice names

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I’m using Tailscale right now but so far no luck on my friend AppleTV. But like I said elsewhere it’s probably a operator error

[–] a@91268476.xyz 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

@TribblesBestFriend @selfhosted I don’t use appletv but a workaround could be using airplay maybe?

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 2 points 22 hours ago

There’s no dedicated Jellyfin app for AppleTV you have to use Infuse.

I presume that the information from Tailscale wasn’t transfer correctly into Infuse. I’ll have to check it on place

I use LSIO container stack so SWAG for the proxy. They have really good documentation and active discord docs.linuxserver.io
