    Good to know, hopefully this creates a drive to make alternatives a little more user friendly to set up

      It’s easy to setup remote access to Jellyfin… once you know what you’re doing. I’ve been doing it for years, and just recently gave Caddy a try as my reverse proxy and it literally takes 3 lines of code to create a SSL secured reverse proxy (literally just Jellyfin.yourfqnd.com { reverse_proxy Jellyfin:8096}).

      I’ve written a docker compose file for each of my categories of apps on my server: Plex, Jellyfin, Admin apps, and Pirating. The Caddy config file is simple so I just copy that to its app directory. My DNS and my CNAME records are already set.

      So after a bit of work writing the aforementioned scripts I can have my entire setup on a new server in about 5 minutes and one command.

      IDK if docker-compose works on Windows, but I’m happy to share it if you run Linux.

          Hahaha happy to help! Apparently two people didn’t like my comment above for some reason 🤷‍♂️

          I’ve been doing this for over a decade and have a lot of experience in what to do and what not to do!
