How to setup Jellyfin and access it remotely (Guide) reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam_Meshnet · 2023-12-20 09:20 I've recently made a video guide about setting up and accessing Jellyfin remotely. I was on the fence about this for some time, as I didn't want to dedicate a lot of time to setting up, but it turns out it's super quick. Here's the video and a couple of words about it below: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9rVlvYOh5c](https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=V9rVlvYOh5c) I’ve been using Jellyfin to stream media locally for a couple of weeks now and found it to be a set-and-forget type of deal. It works flawlessly and requires minimal configuration, while also leaving room to tinker. Jellyfin is versatile, with easy setup on multiple operating systems and client apps for almost every device out there. NordVPN Meshnet lets you access your Jellyfin from anywhere in the world without dealing with complex network configurations for free, with no strings attached. Both Jellyfin and Meshnet are available on multiple platforms. You can host your server on Windows, macOS, or Linux devices easily and access them from anywhere with your phone, laptop, or smart TV (AndroidTV devices). Speaking of different operating systems, Jellyfin was a breeze to install on Windows, as it comes with an installer. But, even for Linux, it comes with an installation script that pretty much does everything for you. I cover both OSes in the video, but for those of you who prefer to read a guide, we’ve got an extensive documentation article available here: [https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/how-to/remote- files-media-access/access-jellyfin-media-sever- remotely](https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/how-to/remote-files-media- access/access-jellyfin-media-sever-remotely) The video also covers setting up a reverse proxy with Nginx. However, it’s not required, as it only tidies up the URL address of our Jellyfin server. All-in-all, Jellyfin is an easy-to-set-up and reliable way to stream media locally or remotely. With the help of Meshnet, the “remotely” part is now easier than ever. If you have any questions or need help with setting up your own Jellyfin server, I'm happy to help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BunkerMoewe · 2023-12-20 11:57 I wanted to switch to jellyfish for a long time. With this guide I'm motivated to finally do it. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELKER54 · 2023-12-20 14:10 Wow guide number 125 what makes yours any different? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- servergeek82 · 2023-12-20 14:33 Thought about mixing in wireguard so it can only be accessible by people I allow. Something to dig into ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AllTheModzAreCancer · 2023-12-20 17:16 https://i.imgur.com/e9WmGJq.png ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam_Meshnet · 2023-12-20 19:07 Meshnet allows you to do exactly that, you can control who exactly can access your media server—all within an easy-to-manage package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam_Meshnet · 2023-12-20 19:09 Glad to hear that, I must say that at first Jellyfin seemed like a lot, but I was pleasantly surprised it's super straightforward and easy to set up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam_Meshnet · 2023-12-20 19:12 Yes, I do work with Nord on such things. Keep in mind, that there is no fee involved with Meshnet, it's 100% free, it also has an open- source client for Linux if you want to look into it. I personally use it for multiple self-hosted projects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- servergeek82 · 2023-12-20 19:52 I take it you are a big fan of meshnet lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam_Meshnet · 2023-12-21 08:21 Honestly, yes. A lot of times, it works like magic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- servergeek82 · 2023-12-21 12:13 Do you have the repo link? I may have to take another look at the project ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam_Meshnet · 2023-12-21 14:53 Here it is: [https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn- linux](https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux) It comes bundled with the NordVPN app, but as I mentioned in other comments, requires no subscription and is absolutely free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- servergeek82 · 2023-12-21 15:18 Good thing I already have Nordvpn 😉
