Jellyfin over the internet
-
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.
fail2ban with endlessh and abuseipdb as actions
Anything that's not specifically my username or git gets instantly blocked. Same with correct users but trying to use passwords or failing authentication in any way.

What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.
I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this
Tailscale, with nginx for https.
Very easy, very simple, just works, and i can share my jellyfin server with my friends

Set up a VPN, use PiVPN

I’m using Tailscale right now but so far no luck on my friend AppleTV. But like I said elsewhere it’s probably a operator error
@TribblesBestFriend @selfhosted I don’t use appletv but a workaround could be using airplay maybe?

With wireguard i set up an easy VPN, then vpn to the home network and use jellyfin.
If i cant use vpn, i have Jellyfin behind a caddy server with automatic https and some security settings.

Use a reverse proxy (caddy or nginx proxy manager) with a subdomain, like myservice.mydomain.com (maybe even configure a subdir too, so …domain.com/guessthis/). Don’t put anything on the main domain / root dir / the IP address.
If you’re still unsure setup Knockd to whitelist only IP addresses that touch certain one or two random ports first.
So security through obscurity
But good luck for the bots to figure all that out.VPN is of course the actually secure option, I’d vote for Tailscale.

My router has a VPN server built-in. I usually use that.

There’s no dedicated Jellyfin app for AppleTV you have to use Infuse.
I presume that the information from Tailscale wasn’t transfer correctly into Infuse. I’ll have to check it on place

I’ll try looking into that
-
Nginx in front of it, open ports for https (and ssh), nothing more. Let's encrypt certificate and you're good to go.
Also run the reverse proxy on a dedicated box for it in the DMZ

wrote last edited by [email protected]An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)
ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.
And finally, I've got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.
There's also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that's very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.
This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there's interest.
Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family without having to guide them through/restrict them to a vpn connection.

Synology with Emby (do not use the connect service they offer) running behind my fortinet firewall. DDNS with my own domain name and ssl cert. Open 1 custom port (not 443) for it, and that's it. Geoblock every country but my own, which basically eliminated all random traffic that was hitting hit. I've been running it this way for 5 years now and have no issues to report.

Look pretty interesting. Do you have guide I could follow ?

Nobody here with a tailscale funnel?? It's such a simple way to get https access from anywhere without being on the tailnet.

I’m looking into it but I find that starting (or keeping open) Tailscale for music is not the best system.
I’m looking into building a shared Jellyfin library between friends
-
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 tried tailscale first but to be honest wasn't a fan. I moved to Twingate and found it much simpler to set up

Will look into it, thanks !

SWAG reverse proxy with a custom domain+subdomain, protected by authentik and fail2ban. Easy access from anywhere once it's set up. No vpn required, just type in the short subdomain.domain.com and sign in (or the app keeps me signed in)

I kept the main domain open, but redirected it to a rickroll
