Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Plex allows this as long as you set whatever devices local IP on the allow without authorization list. I also know that plex just gets shit on the fediverse. Jellyfin doesn’t have local allowance baked in? I’ve never used it.
Nope and that is also not needed, since it's not a cloud dependent service.
What? I’m confused by the question the OP asked if it’s just automatically that way.
OP uses tailscale to connect to everything and not his local connection.
Which is really weird IMO.
If you want to run everything over a VPN, you're going to have issues when the internet goes out. Use VPN as a fallback or to get around CGNAT, not as a primary way of routing everything.
Here's my setup:
So when I connect on my LAN, my router just points the domain to the machine running Jellyfin and I get all the goodness of TLS. When I connect outside my LAN, my VPS tunnels TLS through the WireGuard VPN to get around CGNAT and I get all the goodness of TLS. So it doesn't matter where I connect, I use the same URL and get TLS.
It probably does tbh, I'll have to check the documentation to double-check though. Anything that isn't foss tends to get a handful indeed; Jellyfin genuinely is a better experience than Plex imo.
I’ll prolly give it a shot at some point. I bought lifetime plex long before jellyfin was a thing. Is there an experience similar to plexamp? It’s too good.
I know for me I had to give Plex the local IPs to force local streaming because it would try to stream remote even on local network.
Jellyfin doesn't need any particular setup to work directly from LAN because it doesn't ever try to use a central login provider the way Plex does.
The only reason OP is struggling with it is because they set it up so that they can only connect to it via Tailscale.
