I’ve never understood this stance. You do you, but if I’m offering to host stuff for friends or family for free, they can at least learn to operate that thing on their end.
Edited to add, wow I did not expect this to be such a hot take. Fuck me I guess lol.
Theres a reason everyone uses a VPN to allow remote streaming for their Jellyfin. The things as open as a barns door, so you should not just open it to the public. Like I said, even the devs say not to do that, its just not secure enough
According to your own link that you totally read : “Note that opening a port gives full access to that port to the next higher Network. Opening a port directly to the Internet is therefore insecure and not recommended.”
and
“forwarding its Ports directly to the internet (not recommended!)”
Well I was just answering your question about “why would jellyfin have documentation about opening it to the web if unsafe?” by pointing out that while they do tell you how to, they also explains the risks associated with doing so. Having documentation about something doesn’t mean that the devs endorse this usage.

Surely you haven’t exposed your Jellyfin to the open net, since even the devs admit that that is a terrible idea
