How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?
-
I just stay connected to wireguard even at home, only downside is the odd time I need to chromecast, it needs to be shut off.
Oh shit, you may have just solved my only issue with Symfonium
-
No, it isn't.
Some of these are bonkers. The argument not to fix them because of backwards compatibility is even wilder. Which normal client would need the ability to get data for any other account that it hasn't the Auth token for.

I am interested in your docker compose
Will share this evening after work.

if the cameras don’t load, open Tailscale and make sure it’s connected
I've been using Tailscale for a few months now and this is my only complaint. On Android and macOS, the Tailscale client gets randomly killed. So it's an extra thing you have to manage.
It's almost annoying enough to make me want to host my services on the actual internet....... almost... but not yet.
Look up your phone on dontkillmyapp.com and make sure tailscale is excluded from battery and network "optimization".

Maybe headscale will do better?

even thou the Quick Toggle and the app itself, shows as running
If I disconnect/reconnect the notification comes back, and I've found something even more weird on my device (A Xiaomi with its infamous OOM / background app killer....) is Tailscale still actually works fine most of the time without the foreground notification. I'm hazarding a 70% of the time for me?
A lot of us a while back found v1.5.2 fugged around with the persistent notification going RIP
Oh the Quick Toggle has never, ever worked correctly. I had hope they had fixed it after the UI refresh update but unfortunately not yet.

Oh boy. Nope. My friends gonna have to fiddle with a VPN, forget exposing JF to the outside...

What device/ROM are you using?
It's been very iffy for me on and off from Miui > HyperHyperOS, but just checking now?
Works fine
Like I say, the foreground notification seemed to be the lifeline to some of us using it and keeping it alive, even after IIRC some more restrictions came in with future versions of Android (forgive me, I'm very lazy these days and just skim Mishaal's TG feed
)? -

Huh. The nearest I have to an actual "AOSP" device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of "stock Android" I've ever seen, and I'm going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?
Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I've barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.
Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish.....
But there is something that just fuggs up and I to like I say turn it off/on like most thingys I own

I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?
For web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice.
For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.
-
CloudFlare tunnel with Zero Trust, plus their bot and abuse blocking. Users can get in with the right oauth, plus only allowed from the countries I know they're in. Then just their username and password on jellyfin.
Using cloudflare tunnels means nothing is encrypted and cloudflare sees all.

I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?
My setup is:
Proxmox - restricted LXC running docker which runs jellyfin, tailscale funnel as reverse proxy and certificate provider.
So so don't care about jellyfin security, it can get hacked / broken , its an end road. If so i will delete the LXC and bring it up again using backups. Also i dont think someone will risk or use time to hack a jellyfin server.
My strategy is, with webservices that don't have critical personal data, i have them isolated in instances. I don't rely on security on anything besides the firewall.
And i try not to have services with personal sensitive data, and if i do, on my local lan with the needed protections. If i need access to it outside my local lan, vpn. -
I use Pangolin (https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin)
Uhh, interesting! Thanks for sharing.

conditional Auto-Connect. If not on home wifi, connect to the tunnel.
You don't need this with Tailscale since it uses a separate IP range for the tunnel.
I also have a different subnet for WG. Not sure I understand what you're saying...

I can stay connected, still works, but I don't think I need the extra hoops.

I think that breaks most clients
? How does putting something before it break it? It most certainly doesn’t.
