I have docker installed, but only have a vague idea of how it works.

Back in the day, I would just port forward, but even then, I would need a static IP somehow.

I have heard a reverse proxy is an option, but that is an entirely new topic to me.

Surely there is an easy way to access Jellyfin outside of my home network that I’m just missing.

*Edit: I am blown away by all the help and support! I currently have tailscale running, and I’m in the process of purchasing a domain.

Thanks everyone!

    To say it’s debatable if it’s a suite of tools is just wrong.

    How is it wrong to say it is debatable when Traefik and WireGuard have quite literally done majority of the development. Pangolin is just a man in the middle.

    Pangolin uses gerbil with newt for those wireguard tunnels. That’s a massive improvement already. It also adds a bunch more features like vpn.

    According to the Newt ReadMe -

    Newt is a fully user space WireGuard tunnel client and TCP/UDP proxy, designed to securely expose private resources controlled by Pangolin. By using Newt, you don’t need to manage complex WireGuard tunnels and NATing.

    Seems to me that WireGuard is their primary dependency, without WireGuard what use is it?

    you can crowdsec

    According to Pangolin docs they rely on the Crowdsec middleware offered by Traefik.

    By default, Crowdsec is installed with a basic configuration, which includes the Crowdsec Bouncer Traefik plugin
