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

Run the jellyfin in a container that only has read privileges to the videos ( make sure you can't get out to your whole NAS from there), put that behind a Cloudflaired tunnel.

It's not technically secure, but if they can't get a foothold in your network and the only thing they can access is your video catalog, that's a reasonable amount of risk.

    Gotta be careful with cloudflared and media. They can block you if they detect copyrighted materials, even if it's your own DVDs. You can setup TLS certs so the traffic is at least encrypted

    If your American, ripping your own DVD's still isn't legal.

    Right. Which is why Cloudflared would block you if it's detected. But regardless, if for whatever reason, you ended up in court for the content you copied, the judge would probably give you a low fine. Obviously not legal advice, but the US justice system doesn't have time to care about people making digital copies of DVDs they've purchased.

    It's irrelevant anyway, since none of us are just copying our own DVDs... But for legal reasons /s
