I created a short tutorial on using sub domains to access services hosted within my home network, thought I would share it here in case anyone finds it useful

This is the first time I've made a technical tutorial so apologise if there are mistakes/its confusing, feedback will be appreciated

What do you mean JellyFin is not designed to be Internet facing??? https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

Designed meaning in that case intended to be exposed.
More of an internal thing.
VPNs on the other hand are designed to be exposed. Same with some ssh servers or reverse proxies like traefik, nginx etc.

So you mean the JellyFin ports should not be directlly exposed, but self hosting and exposing nginx to forward the traffic locally to jellyfin is fine?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

Better rather than worse, yes.

Just need to be aware if what you expose and how and where.

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago

So its also not designed to be exposed via nginx?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Please stop nitpicking.
It's as insecure as every other software exposed to the internet.
It's just that some softwares (like Jellyfin) is more prone to be a risk than others (like nginx).

Juat be aware of what you do.
