My Jellyfin server is my laptop and I traveled for Thanksgiving and now I'm on a different wifi network. Is there a way to access it from the new network or would I have to set it up all over again?
You mean accessing it from the same network, you just have to use whatever IP it is assigned by the router. Or do you mean access it remotely while you are on this new network?
Jellyfin 10.10.3 (Docker)
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Intel i3 12100
Intel Arc A380
OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
Storage
3x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1 (JF Library)
On the laptop, you would just use localhost to refer to itself: localhost:8096
If you want others to use your Jellyfin server, you would need to figure out the IP address you are assigned as you connect and disconnect from the network.
The laptop will most likely get assigned random IP addresses as it connects, so the IP address will constantly be changing.
Unless you access the router in the new location to mess around with setting an IP address to not be assignable by DHCP, and then setting your laptop's IP to be a static IP you set in the router, you'll have to deal with constantly changing the IP address you use to access Jellyfin.
