I would suggest to put it behind an sso service like a self hosted authelia or authentik. So even if someone finds your website they will only see your authentication page and not what’s behind it.
How would that work with a Jellyfin client running on a device like a Chromecast dongle? The code on the dongle doesn't (IMHO) know how to log into an SSO service.
You would have to exclude the */api/ path in the authentik provide settings, so that if something wants to call the jellyfin api (like Swiftfin) it can go around the sso. It’s not the best practice for security but the only working way I have found.
