      Nginx in front of it, open ports for https (and ssh), nothing more. Let's encrypt certificate and you're good to go.

        for me i just needed a basic system so my family could share so I have it on my pc, then I registered a subdomain and pointed it to my existing ec2 server with apache using a proxy which points to my local ip and port then I opened the jellyfin port on my router

        and I have certbot for my domain on ec2 🙂

            Cool if I understand only some of things that you have said. So you have a beginner guide I could follow?

              I use LSIO container stack so SWAG for the proxy. They have really good documentation and active discord docs.linuxserver.io

                Personally I use twingate, free for 5 users and relatively straightforward to set up.

                  Who are you using for your domain? I was told if I used cloudfair they would ban me for having streaming traffic over their DNS.

                    Over the top for security would be to setup a personal VPN and only watch it over the VPN. If you are enabling other users and you don't want them on your network; using a proxy like nginx is the way.

                    Being new to this I would look into how to set these things up in docker using docker-compose.

                        Take a look at Nginx Proxy Manager and how to set it up. But you'll need a domain for that. And preferably use a firewall of some sort on your server and only allow said ports.

                          I’m fidgeting with Tailscale right now, only to stream on a AppleTV at a friend house. So far no luck but that’s not me that set up Infuse, so could be an operator error on my friend part

                              I'm using a cheap VPS that connects over Tailscale to my home server. The VPS runs Nginx Proxy Manager, has a firewall and the provider offers DDOS protection and that's it.

                                I would not publicly expose ssh. Your home IP will get scanned all the time and external machines will try to connect to your ssh port.

                                        That would only be if you use their cloudflare tunnel feature

                                          You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.
