Yes, not everyone. My grandmother would struggle setting up a VPN, for example.
that’s a weird take. your grandmother doesn’t need to set up a VPN. It’s not like this is where they would get stuck, they would have problems much sooner with running their own Jellyfin. that’s why you are hosting it for them, and why you go there and set the VPN up yourself.
Agreed, was more so referring to others. I apologize if it seemed like I was referring to myself
I’m already well and truly deep into this, myself. Two Proxmox nodes running the *Arr stack and Jellyfin in LXC containers. Bare metal TrueNAS, with scheduled LTO backups every two weeks. A few other bits and bobs, like some game servers and home automation for family.
Will need to re-map everything eventually, it’s kind of grown out of hand

However, a community member of the selfhosted community is perfectly capable of reading a manual and learning the software.
That’s how you become tech literate in the first place, and you’re already on that path if you’re commenting/reading here.

I was not actually presenting a scenario where my grandmother would use a VPN.
I was pointing out that this community is full of people who are perfectly capable of learning to use a VPN. In response to this comment:
That’s a true statement about ‘everyone’ i.e. the entire population of the planet… but true about everyone here in this community.

Look at Tailscale (or self-host headscale)
It’s a bit of learning (like all of these other things) but it’s a very powerful tool.
I do agree with the general point that Jellyfin shouldn’t require a VPN.
