So I was able to install everything correctly, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do in order for people that don’t have my same IP to see my files. I’d like to share my Jellyfin server with some friends so they can see movies there. I’ve already open the ports, but they can’t still access them, I’m using elementaryOS Hera which is built on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

    1. If you have a router, you need to set up port forwarding, otherwise your router has no idea which machine it needs to send those requests to.
    2. Make sure your firewall if you’re using one, has that port open. If you have any, you might be using ufw.

    If you have a phone data plan, you can test that everything’s working correctly using it to connect to your server.
