Thinking about port forwarding ports 80 and 443 on my router to my home server, where Nginx Proxy Manager will deal with the incoming request.

I've already got a Cloudflare tunnel for some stuff also pointing to NPM, but the tunnel is not working for Jellyfin streaming.

It's so I can expose a service on a nice looking URL I own.

Anything wrong with this?

Nginx Proxy Manager.

Yeah I can see the Jellyfin UI, but the streaming fails, or is blocked by Cloudflare.

It’s not working because it is against Cloudflare’s ToS unfortunately.

First I would ask, do you really have to make Jellyfin publicly accessible?

If yes, are you able to setup a VPN (i.e. Wireguard) and access Jellyfin through that instead?

If you don’t want the VPN route then isolate the NPM and Jellyfin instance from the rest of your server infrastructure and run the setup you described (open ports directly to the NPM instance). That is how most people that don’t want to do Cloudflare are running public access to self hosted services. But first, ask yourself the questions above.
