My next objective is configuring Jellyfin for secure external access. It is fully operational on my LAN and is performing significantly better than the Windows instance I previously ran.

I have installed Tailscale on the Proxmox VE host shell to enable remote access and have also enabled multi-factor authentication on my proxmox account. While everything appears to be functioning properly, I am still relatively new to Tailscale and want to ensure I am implementing this securely.

My initial assumption was that I would also need to install Tailscale within the Jellyfin LXC container. However, I have encountered conflicting information suggesting this may introduce security concerns, particularly when dealing with container privileges and root access. As a result, I am uncertain whether this is the appropriate approach.

What is the recommended and secure method to provide external access to Jellyfin in this setup?

external access

Do you want the Jellyfin server to be accessible from only within your tailnet, or anywhere from the internet?

anywhere from the internet.
