Setting up Jellyfin to be accessible outside of my home network has been a huge pain in the ass.
Not Jellyfin’s fault tho. I wish there was an easier way
Fair, but self hosting stuff has that part of self. It is difficult to make it easy for everyone since everyone has a different setup, as such it is mostly directed towards people who are expert in doing this kinds of things or who will dedicate the time to learn how to do it.
The good thing is after you spent a couple days trying to figure out how to make it work, it will work in the future and you already know how to setup more stuff.
It’s not directed towards people who are experts. I’m an expert and can’t secure Jellyfin properly because Jellyfin doesn’t support proper secure authentication.
Which authentication method are you wanting for it? I wouldn't call myself an expert but my job stuck senior in front of my title a few years back.
Native OIDC/SSO support, allowing users to offload the authentication to a purpose built software.
