Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Are you hosting Jellyfin publicly? Or is this just an internal static IP. I would strongly advise against hosting your Jellyfin server publicly because you could run afoul of copyright and usage laws. If you want to host Jellyfin for a few friends, consider using something like ZeroTier or Tailscale to construct a private overlay network.
Tailscale has been excellent for me who is in the same situation as OP.
Yes, that is the way to do it privately. Remember though that these constructed VPNs can still leak meta data. They're not perfect but for a few friends, I don't think anyone is going to bat an eyelash. I've been trying to get Nebula to work because I really want to use a system that is completely open source. I know somebody reverse-engineered the server component and calls it Headscale but I am hesitant to use it.
