What Hacker News says

2 sources
I think they are may be simpler solutions but there is SWAG https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag that have built in config for proxying Jellyfin. It have all the necessary settings for proxy and built-in Letsencrypt client so you do not have configure it yourself. I have a script written that do `docker compose down && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` that runs every now and then so it keeps itself up to date (SWAG, Jellyfin and others). Again there are probably easier options to get it running but in my case most of it runs on docker so (in theory since I had no major outages just a few times I migrated hardware) moving/restoring from backup is relatively easy - copy all the files and run `docker compose` in each directory.
