That's a fair point -- a reverse proxy setup may be outside the scope of the jellyfin project, but as others have pointed out they also provide an official docker image with a docker compose and other container management solutions. It just seems like a logical next step would be to outline instructions for a more secure setup using something "standard" like nginx instead of leaving it as an exercise to the user -- who may not be so tech savvy.

Maybe this is what you're looking for:

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/

Edit: On desktop, the sidebar is visible which includes links to instructions for Nginx, Caddy, Let's Encrypt, and some other things. I didn't realize at first because I looked at it on the desktop, but on mobile it seems you'll need to hit the hamburger menu to get to those links.

Oh this is very nice! I don't think they had these docs when I first set up Jellyfin years ago.
nice! I can't remember now if i used these docs -- i feel like i sort of fumbled through a solution though lol
