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

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] priapus@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago

Fair enough. I doubt Jellyfin will ever offer something like that. Its designed to be completely self hosted and not rely on a central server, which I dont see changing.

Once Jellyfin can do that or something similar

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

[–] madnerds@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/terms/ You agree not to, and not to allow third parties to use the Services to ... post, transmit, store or link to any files, materials, data, text, audio, video, images or other content that infringe on any person’s intellectual property rights or that are otherwise unlawful;

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.

Oh that's good news! I really only use it for myself, so that sounds like I can stream my music without worrying
