Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

    Yeah, let me just walk my normie friends and parents through setting up a VPN on their TV so they can stream their shows.

      I stuck a rPi in their houses that runs pihole+nginx+tailscale. As far as they’re concerned they go to https://jellyfin.example.domain/ and they’re there.

      Better yet, they go to http://homarr.notlocal/ and they have nice little icons to click on, that take them to all the front-end services I run.

      They get pihole goodness for free. Their homepage is attached to their pihole if they want to pause/stop it.

      I’d like to set them up to be more declarative than I have, setup/updating is a pain. Nix is interesting but the learning curve is too steep for the effort I’m willing to put in. As per usual, being lazy will end up being more work for me in the long run.

      Sounds annoying but doable. No need to be offended I’m just asking why VPN is being ruled out.
