Is there an easy way to stream outside the netowrk and add users? - FlyingTexan - 2024-03-18
So I'm on plex and looking at jellyfin. I've had plex for a decade and I've wanted to switch to jellyfin. I put it on my unraid server about a year ago and couldn't figure out how to stream outside my network. I have a domain but I use cloudflare and can't stream through it. Basically is there a way to easily add a user, I have just. few, and stream outside my network? I travel for a living so I'm always streaming remote.

You have a couple options.
1) Easy, but unsecure. Just port forward port 8096.
2) Harder but secure. Setup Caddy or Nginx Proxy Manager, both of which have easy integration with Let's Encrypt to easily acquire certs for https.
3) Use a VPN app likes Tailscale or Zerotier. Requires that all devices running Jellyfin also be able to run the respective VPN apps.
