NOOB Jellyfin Public Access Help? - jellykrabbypatty - 2025-09-23
Hello, I am not very tech savvy. I am using Linux Mint and have Jellyfin running from docker compose on a private network off my computer with external drives.
Does anyone know the best way to expose Jellyfin to public network safely and securely? I would prefer not to use any services that would be breaking Terms of Services, but if that is the only way it is ok. I just need help getting in the right direction.
I also read that someone made it so nobody could access it unless you give them a login code. That sounds interesting.
I could probably wing it but exposing my network is not something I want to mess up!
I have a VPN but Jellyfin is not set to run through it currently so it is not accessible via Private when on VPN.
Thank you for any assist!

That's the process I followed. Unsure how to work with your VPN but otherwise the function has been pretty smooth for me.
