Got my Jellyfin up and running, using Tailscale, all that good stuff. Running on a linux (arch btw) desktop, downloaded it straight to it, not using Docker. I am able to get into Jellyfin via browser on desktop and on phone, but can't get into it on anything else anywhere else. How do I resolve this? I have been trying to pour over the reading and feel like I'm missing something.

To use tailscale you'd need to add every device you want to use to your tailscale machines list. It's not an anywhere any machine solution without that.

If you want something more like a proper web service that’s available without Tailscale, you’d need to spin up a reverse proxy or use Tailscale Funnel to expose Jellyfin to the public internet in a controlled way.

Tailscale won't affect local as you can access it via browser and phone, the service is running fine locally. Just check in jellyfin it's bound to the same IP subnet go to Dashboard → Networking and check that it’s set to 0.0.0.0 or your LAN IP (e.g., 192.168.0.xx).

Well, is "everything else" using Tailscale? That's kinda the deal.

What's the need for Tailscale in this mix?
