I access it via NPM the same as I access most of the rest of my services. As far as I've been able to tell, unauthenticated viewing can happen on Jellyfin, but the person trying to access it will need to know the path that Jellyfin uses to access the media. If you already know my internal file paths, you can watch it from my server I suppose.
I quit using Plex for my own enjoyment a year or two ago when my work decided to block Plex.tv, I can still reach my personal server as it's accessible to the internet, but I cannot login as that requires being able to access Plex's authentication servers. At least with Jellyfin I can use my own Authentik instance for auth.
What’s NPM in this case?
nginx proxy manager if I had to guess
Nginx Proxy Manager, really any reverse proxy would be fine, but I'm partial to Nginx.
Ah! Yes, I’m partial to nginx too. Lovely stuff 🙂
