I am using the free Oracle VPS offer until they block me, so far I have no issue. Alzernatively I wanted to check out IONOS, since you dont have a bandwidth limit there.

I use a VPS and a wiregusrd tunnel.

Yeah the link I posted does everything via docker and explains what should be mounted and how.

I get you and I know that there can be security issues (especially in Jellyfin) that might give you access. This is the reason I only mount the media and config folders, and nothing else into the docker container. The media folders are mounted as read only and don’t contain sensitive information. For the config folder I created a separate user. Plus I block non-German IP addresses which already blocks quite some bots. If your friends have fixed IP addresses you could also just whitelist them and block everything else.

You could also probably sniff the network and define more strict rules on ‘allowed’ requests in fail2ban but this is bridle because requests might change with different versions.

Hell I know what you mean, it was so much trial and error until it worked, hence this guide/template to help others. Plus at some point it feels more like work than a hobby 😅

This is how I do it: https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

Have to check their backlog then. I hope I’ve secured it enough. Even if someone gets into the system they should only be able to view the media I mount into the docker container and the logs. So hopefully nothing harmful.

Thanks, I currently use the Oracle free tier and so far so good

I use a VPS to make it accessible https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

You can use a VPS to make it accessible without VPN via the internet: https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

Thanks, I am awarw of that, I also have an rsync job to move the files into my NAS. The deletion is the part that bothers me most, but if you flash the device and the install syncthing with a new identifier that should treat it as a new device.

I use a VPS and a Wiregusrd tunnel together with geoblocking and fail2ban. I’ve written my setup down, maybe this will help you https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

I use Syncthing to back up my Signal chats and pictures every night with my raspberry Pi. I simply let Signal create a backup at night ans let Syncthing watch the backup folder.

Thank you. Took me quite some time to get it all running through the Wireguard tunnel.

I set up fail2ban together with Caddy which runs as a reverse proxy in front of Jellyfin. I’ve written down my setup and maybe this will help you https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

Found the complete series on scenenzbs.com: # Garfield and Friends (Complete cartoon series in MP4 format) States nothing about remastered though

Didn’t the, do the same with the lifetime VPN for 10€/year and later stated the lifetime is meant to be Putin’s lifetime, i.e. when he dies the offer expires? Same with the 40gb/month for free which they randomly changed…

You’re welcome, happy that I can help. I also just updated it a bit. In case you find any issues or have questions please let me know. It was mostly trial and error until it ran…

It’s a steep learning curve for sure but once you get the basics it’s straight forward until you hit very specific problems.

Are you a Windows or Linux user? They often want to push their Docker UI application but in my opinion docker engine with docker compose is enough. There are probably a lot of great tutorials out there and I can recommend https://www.linuxserver.io/ for images.

https://codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup here you go, took me longer than expected and I hope it’s helpful, might contain a few errors since I had to remove some settings but I guess this should work.
