I just use a free dynamic DNS provider (ie: DuckDNS), and most home routers are able to publish IP address changes to that DNS, otherwise you just need a small software to publish those change, which you can do ok the server hosting Jellyfin.
Someone already suggested that but it seems to be missing a step, still need something to direct to the port I have for jellyfin?
That's just on your router, no?
no idea, I dont know how to do any of that
This tutorial explains everything in detail.
Edit: I stupidly assumed you are using windows. But anywayys...if you are thats a good tut
I am on windows, your stupidity paid off. Hooray stupid but lucky people! (sadly Im only stupid, not lucky)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
This tutorial explains everything in detail.
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Followed that guide and only managed to make my duckdns domain lead to my router...
You'll also need to do some port forwarding at the home router level so that external users can reach the server.
You'll preferably want to do what's called a DHCP reservation so that your server's internal IP address remains the same, then do a port forward from
your public port 8096tointernalIP:8096. That way, you just have to point someone outside of your network tohostname.duckdns.org:8096(which will get resolved to your current public IP address) for your Jellyfin server.tried doing hostname.duckdns.org:8096 and it didnt work so Im not sure its supposed to be like that, website mentions something called caddy
you'll need to have your own hostname and make it point to your home IP address, just in case it wasn't clear enough
It's good you are trying to help but I'm not sure someone copying and pasting whatever they read should have a port exposed to the Internet.
