I just finished setting up my own Jellyfin server. Lately I’ve been getting into using open source software and this weekend I thought it would be nice to self host on an old thinkpad I had from my college days. There were a few roadblocks I encountered, but ultimately I got it working. Now with the Finamp/Jellyfin app I can have a Spotify/Netflix-like experience completely free (well minus the domain name cost). I highly recommend it if you have been thinking about doing it for a while like I was. I’m so glad we have open source software like Lemmy and Jellyfin available to us.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who suggested not using Cloudflare tunnels. I’m sure they would have got me eventually. I am now successfully running Jellyfin with Pangolin and couldn’t be happier.

      And reverse proxies are overkill anyway unless OP’s planning to allow lots of tech-illiterate people access who will never know how to import a Wireguard config file or even what any of those words mean.
