afaik but I’m not sure, Jellyfin lacks support for OIDC AuthN which is a clear sign that you cannot expose this publicly.
~~There's a plugin for that.~~ Plugin is archived and will become outdated (and unsafe to use) over time. Don't use it.
*Archived, arrived just means it is here
You don't say. My autocorrect had a mind of its own again. Fixed it.
says repo is archived
Oops. I tried it in the past and just linked to quickly without taking a close look at the repo. I've updated the above posting. Thanks for pointing this out.
If that is the same as oAuth, that can be done with a plugin.
But yes, that's not native.
