Also worth looking into tailscale if it's just for personal use but not ideal for sharing

Damn. Thanks for this I'll look into it.

Pangolin on oracle always free also works quite good, if you can understand the ui that is I had some difficulties but it works now.

I don't think it is, there are differences in their terms for these tunnels and other services. I don't recall the specifics, but I did look it up before I set up the same thing.

I think there was something with the tunnel not actually running on the CDN.

Just wanted to say thanks for making me aware of pangolin. I got it up and running! This is so awesome, I can't believe it exists.

I have been using CloudFlare tunnel to stream Plex, Jellyfin, and now Emby (of the three, I prefer Emby for now) to a couple of family members, and I haven't been pinged yet. I will look into Tailscale as an alternative or backup route though, just in case.

I use the Finamp app to access my Jellyfin music collection, which works well. It gives a dedicated music app rather than a generic Jellyfin everything app.

The Jellyfin web app is ok for music playback, if you mostly listen to albums. It's a video first platform.

There are third party music apps that can access your Jellyfin music library. I like both Finamp (iOS) and Feisin (Linux). Those being music centric, are a bit better than the web UI, but they are still hampered by Jellyfin's album centric design.

There is no real easy way to build playlists , regardless of what front end you use. Importing playlists is borderline impossible due to the playlist being a table in Jellyfin's database.

If you prefer to listen to music through playlists, I'd recommend Navidrome as a separate service for music. While building playlists can still be painful, it can import playlist files so your not just limited to whatever workflow your frontend pushes.

I've really enjoyed it for music. My favourite part has been throwing a decades old collection into it and shuffle playing the whole lot. So many forgotten tunes.
