    Jellyfin is great if you are only streaming content locally. If you have people outside your network trying to stream, it is more cumbersome to set up than Plex

      A reverse proxy is like 3 lines in Caddy, it’s really not hard to set up

        • If you’re not behind CGNAT
        • If you have access to the router
        • If you have a domain
        • If you have the understanding to do Caddy/Traefik/NPM

          If you’re behind CGNAT I don’t see how Plex will do any better. Same with no router access.

          A domain is 1$ per month, which in most countries will be cheaper than any streaming service, or even a Plex subscription for that matter.

          Finally, as I said, for Caddy it’s 3 lines, that you can get with 1 word search, and will have 2 substitutions for you to make, one being the previously mentioned domain, the other being Jellyfin’s IP and port. If you’re going the route of self hosting I sure hope a word search is not beyond your abilities.
