You're doing the Lord's work. I wish I could get jelly fin working the same way. I haven't been able to figure out how to access it outside my home network
I looked into exposing jellyfin and holy shit get ready for a new full time hobby in network security if you try.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/nginx/
Just use nginx as a reverse proxy. Note- this assumes you have a domain name or can at least use duckdns or similar and open ports at the edge of your network.
I'm here to recommend Caddy instead of Jellyfin. It's way easier to set up and just as performant. Example Caddyfile below (assuming they're in the same Docker network and your Jellyfin container is named jellyfin):
That's it! I highly recommend Caddy! It handles https automatically so you don't have to worry about SSL certs or 301 redirects from https to https at all!
Never used Caddy, but if you're running a variety of services Traefik also is pretty easy to deploy, especially if you're using Docker containers. You can set it up to use let's encrypt fairly easily to handle all the SSL stuff.
