I wonder if instead of Jellyfin + Tailscale, people should be doing Jellyfin + Netbird.

Netbird offers a reverse proxy, so you can easily expose Jellyfin to the public Internet and not have to jump through hoops for friends and family...

At least, in theory... I haven't tried this setup yet, but I'm thinking about it...

I bought my parent's an Android TV, just so they could install Tailscale on it. Unfortunately, Android TV keeps killing Tailscale or doesn't launch it on boot. They're old, so they can't really troubleshoot VPN issues.

I use Jellyfin with Wireguard, Caddy, and Fail2Ban https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

tailscale also offers a reverse proxy through their "funnel" - https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailscale-funnel

but I've been looking at netbird and might switch, so who knows what i'll be using a year from now

Headscale doesn't though and I'd be willing to bet the self hosted jellyfin types are more likely to also be using headscale than tailscale.
