    Are you singling out Jellyfin for a particular reason? Or are also going to advise just never opening ports in general?

      jellyfin people just always spout this advice as some sort of copium and i dont even know why. ALL software will have security issues at some point or another. just update and move on with your life.

        Definitely.

        But I think more than copium it’s them understanding their users. It’s advice for people that will figure out how to run Jellyfin but won’t stay on top of updates, setup a waf, use a firewall/reverseproxy to limit access, etc. There are surely a lot of those that just one clicked an installer etc and for them it’s good advice.

        That’s kinda my perspective on it to. I mean, how do they think websites work? Gotta expose ports to make all the internet things happen. Sure commercial stuff will have more devices to protect it, but there are things you can do to mitigate issues at home too.
