Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network for free? (anarchist.nexus)

I have docker installed, but only have a vague idea of how it works.

Back in the day, I would just port forward, but even then, I would need a static IP somehow.

I have heard a reverse proxy is an option, but that is an entirely new topic to me.

Surely there is an easy way to access Jellyfin outside of my home network that I'm just missing.

*Edit: I am blown away by all the help and support! I currently have tailscale running, and I'm in the process of purchasing a domain.

Thanks everyone!

A cheap way to start is noip.com. You can get a domain name for free, you just need to check in every 3 months to say you are still using it. It's big enough that many routers support it.

After 2 years of checking in every 3 months I paid for their next tier of service where you don't have to check in and get multiple domains etc. So their free service marketing worked.
