First things first, the setup is currently up and running. but i would like to modify it to use a reverse proxy through my personal domain.
Currently, i’m using an old pc with Truenas and a jail with jellyfin in it. i’m connecting to it with the free Fritz!Box VPN service.
but that’s stupid and slow. so i’ve bought a domain at godaddy.com. but i don’t understand the principle of whatever is managing the domain knowing the public IP-adress of my server. i’ve heard of Caddy, but it’s also running locally, so i don’t understand how i connect the pc to the domain.
if anyone could simplify this down for me, it’d be very helpful.
is the free vpn service the wireguard one? if yes and it is slow, than it won’t be any faster when using your own domain and exposing the server directly to the internet, because wireguard should be as fast as any direct connection. if it is not the wireguard vpn from the fritz box i’d recommend switching to it. this can be done by tge server jellyfin is running on if your box does not support wireguard.
