Great; how do I setup Tailscale on my Roku streaming box since I shouldn’t open Jellyfin ports to the Internet?
If you are hosting more than just Jellyfin, which of course you are because no one can stop at one, then you'll need a reverse proxy anyway.
Jellyfin does provide a reverse proxy guide in the docs, but I do think that people over estimate the ability of an average person to self host an application. It's not going to be as easy as Plex for the hoster, but when set up with that aim then you can make it that easy for the users.
We're on Lemmy so there's heaps of experience around, if you need help in setting up Jellyfin using a domain and reverse proxy so it's available over the internet then give it a go and when you get stuck ask in !selfhosted@lemmy.world
Or if that fails I'll help
