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!
Not to mention, the amount of data you can run through it is nuts. I’ve been running Stremio web through it for months without issue to watch content at work.
is that against ToS? i want to do it but dont want to get banned
What are your concerns about Cloudflare and getting ‘banned’? There used to be a clause in the TOS that prohibited streaming video. However, as one user here has pointed out, that has been since superseded. Now, I’m not going to tell you that you can share your JF with 20 other users and not raise an eyebrow with Cloudflare. I don’t have a clue what they would do in that case. As far as streaming, I run Navidrome around the house from the time I get up in the morning, until I go to bed at night, and have had no issues. There also isn’t a bandwidth cap that I can find anywhere in Cloudflare’s documentation.

Not permitted but tolerated (until it isnt)
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.
Still only tolerated.
Walking a fime lime on getting your account closed/domain bammed or at the very least receoving a warning.
Wishing you best of luck not getting banned.
I haven’t had any issues with friends streaming 4k! I probably should add a data cap in the Jellyfin settings, though
Good to know. I wasn’t aware of this.
Just looked it up and your right, they changed their ToS in 2023
They have not: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/26944007
Yup. OP was asking about bandwidth caps, I haven’t experienced any, nor can I find any documentation to support bandwidth caps. I stream Navidrome around the house from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and it has worked flawlessly.
