But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN
FWIW:
vps + domain (optional?)
connect vps to home server with wireguard (eg Tailscale)
reverse proxy on the VPS forwarding to jellyfin (eg Caddy)
Obviously not as trivial or seamless as Plex. Also I wouldn’t try to complicate this setup by using docker for everything. But once its up you can basically host whatever you want on the WAN from your LAN.
