I was happy to buy a lifetime pass many years ago, but as they've removed many of the features I cared about (offline auth, plugins, photo backup, watch together, etc.) I have come to realize that I directly funded enshittification. I wish I could've bought a lifetime pass to the version of the software at that time instead of a lifetime of downgrades.

Jellyfin is also a single docker container, by the way. That would've been an easy thing to verify before making this comment.

it's not a single container if I want to be able to have friends/family access it. That would have been an easy thing to think about before making this comment.
You have to set up port forwarding either way. If you haven't yet, go do that now (ask chatgpt to help), it will dramatically improve your Plex remote streaming. Check settings -> remote access and it'll show green.
