    It should at worst give people a copy of my media if there’s a security issue.

    that’s not the worst possibility. the worst possibility is an RCE into your server.

    Personally I went out of my way to make this be the case, i have my instance locked into an unprivileged lxc whitelist only on syscalls which took a while to figure out the minimum needed for function but

    that’s a pretty exotic setup. Exciting, but for most people learning to manage a VPN is easier

      I am aware that an rce is the worst possibility I’m saying it shouldn’t be. The web portion is already its own isolated binary that you have to install but it’s designed with seemingly very little attention to security.

      To the point that jellyfin has already had several major RCE and despite having full support for running over the web with http developers are basically just like you should not be using this without a VPN which is overall a pretty pathetic stance for a media server
