Running a TrueNAS Scale server with Jellyfin and planning to add Nextcloud. How would I be able to access these services from outside my network? I have heard portforwarding is unsafe and a VPN seems inconvenient to me.

    Internet-facing Jellyfin instance is a bit too risky for my taste (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415), especially with those unauthenticated endpoints leaking contents of the server.

    If VPN is not an option, I suggest using setting a restrictive <RemoteIPFilter> in /etc/jellyfin/network.xml and/or placing Jellyfin behind HTTP basic auth.

    Internet-facing Nextcloud is fine in my experience, provided you harden the web server in the usual ways.
