Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

Your vps isn't doing anything useful security wise.. it's just sending traffic directly to jellyfin.

You'd get the same protection with just port forwarding to a local proxy in front of jellyfin. Or you could even leave out the proxy if you didn't need it.

    I'm aware of this (that's why I described a potential breach as Jellyfin -> LXC escape). What it does provide me is a static IP to point my domain at that I don't have to worry about updating via whatever DDNS service and that isn't tied to my home address. That and the wireguard tunnel gives me plausible deniability should my ISP ever decide to enforce its rules against hosting servers. 😀
