I'm running Jellyfin on Debian, not using docker.
My ISP uses CGNAT so I'm using IPv6 only(having IPv4 and IPv6 enabled caused the local discovery address to show as 127.0.0.1) and have a DNS name redirecting to it.
I'm using caddy for HTTPS and the DNS automatically updates.
Everything works perfectly except my IPv6 address changes every 24hrs and while my DNS name updates correctly (I can remote in using it from local and external), Jellyfin stops working(both locally and externally). If I restart the Jellyfin service, it starts working again.
I don't know if it's possible or advisable to set a static IPv6 address(I still don't fully understand them), but it seems like Jellyfin should be able to deal with a changing IP address, so that seems like a bit of a band aid solution if it's even an option.
I'm vaguely aware of something to do with Jellyfin binding to an ip address, so I've been kind of looking in that area but I'm a bit lost.
