Hi y’all, thanks for the help with my question yesterday. I did a bit of homework, and I think I’ve got things figured out. Here’s my revised plan:

  1. configure a cron job to update DuckDNS with my IP address every 5 minutes

  2. use ufw to block all incoming traffic, except to ports 80 and 443, to allow incoming traffic to reach Caddy

  3. configure the Caddyfile to direct traffic from my DuckDNS subdomain to Jellyfin’s port

Does this seem right this time? Am I missing anything, or unnecessarily adding steps? Thanks in advance, I’ll get the hang of all this someday!

      Meh, I won’t expose ports anymore - last time I did I had someone hammering on it hard enough to slow my consumer router.

      I closed the port and would still have someone hammer it occasionally for months, hoping the port was still open.

      Haha okay, thanks! And I’d just forward ports 80 and 443 from the router to ports 80 and 443 on the Pi’s internal IP address in the router settings, right?
