I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

if you can

Everyone can.

I got in via an interview for what.cd, way back in the day. The interview process is still a viable way in for those willing to put a bit of time in.

is it possible to easily setup a way for your jellyfin server to be used outside of your house? For instance, if I wanted to let my grandfather use it with the rokus from his house, or if I wanted to leave the server at my house and still use it from college, could this be done fairly easily without too much trouble?

Or would this be an issue legal wise or difficult to code/network somehow?

It’s possible, but without knowing how familiar you are with networking, it’s difficult.

I’m assuming your Jellyfin server is on your home network. If this is the case, it might not be worth it because you have a data cap.

Your home’s isp probably designated your connection a dynamic IP (changes every time your modem is rebooted and also periodically). You should be able to reach Jellyfin through this IP right now if your router is forwarding http requests to your Jellyfin server. For example, if Jellyfin is watching port 8080 for http requests you would need to set your router to port forward all requests on 8080 to the Jellyfin host

Since you have a dynamic ip this would not be a “set it and forget it” solution. There are ways around this, you’d need to research buying a domain name from a registrar (I’ve used porkbun) and setting up a ddns client that updates your ip with the registrar when it changes. I haven’t been able to figure this out yet (I just tinker with computers I don’t know what I am doing. I also have capped internet so I’m not interested in hosting my Jellyfin outside my home).

Also, setting up https is a good idea and is easier if you have a domain ( but you can do it without, I hear.)

Good luck

Edit: the other suggestions about setting up your network as a vpn and connecting that way is probably much easier. I went the domain route for some other stuff I was doing.

Yes it's a legal issue

Wireguard would be the ideal choice instead of old school vpn

Could also use tailscale as it's easier to set up
