Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network for free? (anarchist.nexus)

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!

https://netbird.io/ for your own private network of trusted devices, it's free and doesn't require a separate Big Tech account to use (unlike Tailscale)

And then if you want to share Jellyfin with someone who isn't in your Netbird network... believe it or not, also Netbird

    Does it work with a reverse proxy?
