well, this works but is against all comon sense... DO NOT OPEN PORTS, use tailscale or wireguard or something else instead.. if u really want to open ports use a reverse proxy with SSL, cant believe this video have so many views
Thanks mate. At least I can watch Movies and Show on my Ubuntu Server. Now I need a VPN for more secure connection and give access to a few relatives and friends.

I'd advise against port 9000 as its a default port for most portainer tutorials and portainer is a very valuable application for people expanding their home labs and media servers. I'm a big fan of changing default ports for media servers because it's just so easy for botnets to scour the globe looking for a billion noobs with open 32400 or 8096 ports, but you should change it to something that isn't already used by burgeoning software
I'm not even sure why but it worked on linux but to windows couldn't connect from my TV. Changing the port to 9000 worked. Although I guess it could create be another issue later. So far worked, thanks.
Thank you so much! I couldn't connect no matter what i did. Port forwarding was such an obvious solution, I am so mad at myself. Thank you again i probably would have tried self ssl cert signing before this if not for you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
any chance you could help me set this up? then i could make a video tutorial showing everyone how to do it...unless you can maybe make a video showing how it works
You can use the Cloudflare method (also made a video on that) to do the same which is easier if you don’t have a static ip. However, you need to run a separate software for these things.
@@d_c_y_1I heard cloudflare can ban you though is it possible to have tailscale to remote access outside my network but have my NordVPN keep my IP secured since tailscale doesn’t do port forwarding?
Well done nice easy explanation. A good tip about your video editing, would be to try to make certain things a bit clearer. It's typically a good diea to save the URL for access to the server..... once the port is changed, it'd be easier to just edit the link and change the port in the link to 9000 and save it. It was a bit muddled during the explanation. Otherwise - great video - very very helpful.
Following these exact directions and i still got a closed port with port checker. Is it because my IP address on my laptop is dynamic? Does it need to have a static ip address?
Port forwarding is the most simplest method and much easier. Yes it opens up to security issues. But you can isolate using VLANS to add security to your network. You can use tailscale if you want security as well. But it means you need to run tailscale on the client side to work. Again more steps. Especially for family members that are not tech savy. Its not an easy task.
excuse isr if you are on the same network with the neighbor you have also a router with you you have an internet connection also, does jellyfin uses internet bandwidth while your using it?
great video, but as a newbie i got lost almost instantly. i just bought a synology 420+. i have jellyfine installed on it and seems to work very well on my local ntwrk. however remote access has been a pain in butt. can u please propose a simple solution that I can do with few clicks. i don't mind paying for extra stuff
Honestly, I don’t have synology and don’t have enough knowledge about that. It would be much better if you could redirect yourself to some tutorials made for port forwarding on synology. By the way, Do you have a dedicated ip?
PLEASE can you come up with a way for me to share my jellyfin app if i dont have access to my router?? using something like zerotier or some other app that will make it actually work
@@d_c_y_1 awesome thank you...basically its like living in an apartment ...we all have access to wifi...just not to the router...cloudflare wont work...they dont allow video shareing
Thank you for your informative video. But its didn't work for me don't know why. I have an ip which is static ip. whenever I restart my router my ip not changing its is showing same on " what is my ip" I checked my router also that ip is also same which is provided from my local network providers. I m using siti brodband connection which based on Kolkata. I tried multiple times your method, but didn't work. can you please tell me what is the problem. I want to use my ftp server over the internet. I also tried no-ip method. please reply it will be very helpful to me.
I guess your isp is sharing you internet from another router. So, you need to port forward on their router which will is quite hard from a user perspective. However, you can check my Cloudflare method in my channel. It won’t need any kind of router configuration. Let me know if that works
I have done all of this, and confirmed that my outward facing IP port is open. I am using the newer Xfinity XB8 in bridge mode and the UniFi USG as my router. Have triple checked all settings and can not get Jellyfin to work outside my network. The setup is so simple, I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. All of the UniFi videos available either just touch on basic port forwarding, or do their best to confuse only the most tech savvy. I am pretty tech-smart, so I'm frustrated beyond compare. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
@@ElliottDay-ok6ti Sorry for the late response! Yes I did actually. Today. I didn't do anything differently. I had it working once before but it stopped just after I left the country for 6 weeks, and was going to rely on my video library heavily, so I'm curious to see how long it continues to work at this point. Using the outward facing IP address as a second server in the app seems to be working now. I'm also having trouble with the Jellyfin's Quick Connect feature. It has only worked once out of at least 30 attempts. No rhyme or reason that I can find. How are you fairing?
I'm just install jellyfin on my desktop (Windows). I want to play movie on my Tv/Mobile Stay on local network. I can't connect with server from any different devices.
My isp blocked all the ports and i am using PPPOE connection which is dynamic ip, in this case can i use dynamic dns (inbuilt router feature) is it work for me? or can i request to isp to unblock port which i will gona use?
I don't think, your isp will be able to open port if you don't get any dedicated ip. Maybe you can try something like no-ip if you don't get dedicated ip.
Do you have dedicated ip? If not, follow my setup with cloudflare video Jellyfin Remote Access through Tunnelling || Cloudflare ruclips.net/video/CP7ZGZ_cVdM/видео.html
It entirely depends on the movie bitrate. you can simply lower the resolution with bitrate in order to reduce bandwidth usage. However, usually at least 15 mbps is needed to stream 1080p movies

Glad it worked for you and you liked it!
No, you definitely need to set up HTTPS if the server is going to be publicly available. I don't understand why you think it's not that important.
Search for days for a straight forward guide on how to make this work. Outstanding and thank you for the video.
No mention of security risks here? Probably not the best idea to just open a port to the internet without some sort of security protocol.
You do have some security risks. However, Don't just share your ip address with anyone else if you have security concern.
@@d_c_y_1 understood. for those that aren't aware just calling that out. otherwise very good video

slap a reverse proxy in front of it and call it a day.
What would be your recommended port?
Thanks to you I discovered I wasn't using the good ip adress when logging to the server. Got the good one from the checking port website. 👌
Worked! Thanks! im a little skeptical about the security of this from the comments but i hope il be fine but it did work though.
I have been using for three years or so… Haven’t faced any security risks yet. So, good luck for you!

Thanks man. I was trying all ways but finnally i have a solution :D
I use Tailscale - no port forwarding needed. And it's free and dead simple to setup.
is it good though? I'm new to this and i was afraid that this method is a security risk

Can jellyfin be load on truenas core?
Obviously, Jellyfin is available for TrueNAS Core. Please head over to jellyfin Website for step by step guide.

This isnt safe , jellyfin should be put behind reverse proxy+ authentication service to be more safe .

Its Show port is closed
You need to ask your ISP to open the port for you

So what’s a better way to do this, without using vpn to access?
Just host wireguard instance its really easy
That’s wrong. DO NOT OPEN PORTS!
