You could just get a domain and set up a reverse proxy. Or use Cloudflare tunnels.

    All possible, but currently I have lifetime Plex pass and just need to share with people I want to share with. No extra config. Once Jellyfin can do that or something similar, I'll look at jumping ship. Until then, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

    Once Jellyfin does that then it'll be time to look at jumping ship to something else, because that'll be the indication that Jellyfin is going down the same road as Plex.

    The first one, yes. That's what I do. But IIRC hosting media via cloudflare tunnels goes against the TOC and they reserve the right to ban users over it

    They changed their TOC a while ago, the only thing they have in there now is boiler plate stuff about not hosting pirated content.

    I just set up a cache rule to ignore my jellyfin subdomain and they won't ever care about me and my half dozen users.
