Idk why so many people are afraid to share jellyfin servers. Mines been open to everyone and anyone for over a year with zero problems.

If you do that, great! Genuinely good for you. You probably know the risks and how to mitigate them, or fix them if they become problems. Or don’t care, that’s a valid option too.

I absolutely do not know the risks or how to mitigate them. I don’t want to fuck myself over doing something stupid against the consensus advice of basically everyone who ever talks about it. I don’t even fully understand how to make it accessible in the first place, despite having spent a few days looking into it on and off (same issue with sharing my calibre library, as it seems to be the same process). It’s way beyond my experience level, it’s intimidating, and frankly I’m not super interested in doing something that far out of my understanding comfort zone if it has any significant risks.

I know the risks. The most somoene could do is gain access to the things im already sharing without having to create a login first. Or i suppose they might be able to intentionally break things, but that would really be only minor inconvenience for me.

Most abuse i see these days is from LLMs ans automated scripts completely unrelated to jellyfin, fail2ban mitigates most of that easily.

Yeah, so like.. those are mostly pretty big problems for me -and likely a whole lot of people who might want to get off Plex- that I don’t have a clue what to do with without dedicating probably weeks of time to learning properly, so.. hard pass until the whole process is significantly safer or more streamlined.
