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?

I meant it in the sense that you should get into the habit of avoiding any unencrypted connections, especially if they're routed through the open internet but it's also good practice to do it on your LAN. It's not essential on the LAN as it is on the internet but if you start doing it regularly it will be harder to mess up.

And it's also a good idea to get a domain and some Let's Encrypt certificates and set up a *.local.your.domain area for all your services, and learn about how DNS works, maybe start thinking about taking your email private and not depend on one of the big providers and so on and so forth. Lots of potential benefits for a self-hoster and for privacy.
