    If you haven't set up your Jellyfin to be Internet accessible (it sounds like you haven't) then only devices on your home network can access it right now. This is not something you can accidentally do.

    Jellyfin works in a similar manner to Netflix or Youtube. Specifically the protocols for streaming video. But Jellyfin only streams content you store locally on your computer. You tell Jellyfin where your videos are and Jellyfin displays them in the interface and streams it to your devices.
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    Storage
        4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1
