Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I think this is an excellent suggestion. I used Cloudflare tunnels until recently, and it was very effective. However, I stopped because of a minor issue, which I'll mention in case its a deal breaker for anyone.
Technically, using Cloudflare tunnels for Jellyfin is a ToS violation. You're only allowed to do so if you have an enterprise account, which is quite expensive.
I heard from a "friend of a friend" that everyday users don't need to worry about this. Cloudflare are aware of people using tunnels with Jellyfin and they aren't fussed. The rule is supposedly there to combat large scale piracy.
However, I have heard that cloudflare does decide to start caring if they can use jellyfin use as an extra excuse to kick anybody involved in other ToS violations.
In all likelihood, this won't be a problem for you. While I used tunnels, they worked perfectly. However, given that you are going to go to the effort of sorting out some level of infrastructure for yourself, its something to keep in mind.
I've heard people say this, and I've heard people say you can't stream music. Tho I do not run the 'arr stack or Jellyfin, I do run Navidrome almost 24/7/365. But it's something to keep in mind.
