hi is there any local cloudflare alternative becourse from my reading it seems that that using it for jellyfin is against cloudflares TOS and i would like to get jellyfin to my domain but i dont wanna pay for it, so a loxal alternative would probably be my best bet, i also would prefer not to open any ports
Don’t expose Jellyfin to the internet
Do it with a reverse proxy and set 2FA before it (and break native app functionaility).
Have you thought about using DuckDNS.org?
I run mine through them (it’s free) because I couldn’t work through using my own hosting since my host makes things super complicated.
well from my little knolage about them you need to use their domain right?
Yeah you create the subdomain and use their domain. It’s a free DNS service that prevents you from having to buy your own domain and host and setup all the DNS security yourself.
If you don’t want to open any ports, then you will need to setup a VPN service. Tailscale is one of the easiest to use VPNs out there.
Just attempting to setup pihole + some DNS rules for this, but can’t yet say it works cause I haven’t gotten that far
Don’t proxy jellyfin through CF.
Using it for the domain or subdomain is fine.
You know it’s not proxied because the cloud is gray instead of yellow.
And if you ping the domain it’s your own IP instead of a cloudflare ip.
ohhh, so i can do it through cloudflare without breaking TOS? or am i misunderstanding?
Nope. It’s doable and permitted as long as the traffic is not proxied (gray cloud)
