Add to Caddyfile (from ~/docker/caddy)

Remember to docker exec -w /etc/caddy caddy caddy reload after editing your Caddyfile.

jelly.example.com {
	reverse_proxy jellyfin:8096
}

docker-compose.yml

For the docker-compose you need to modify the the /path/to/your/media to point to where your media is actually located. You may also need to modify PUID/GUID if you have more than one linux account. Usually 1000 and 1000 will work if you followed my A-Z guide.

Optionally you may want to open ports 7359/udp and 1900/udp on your ufw firewall so jellyfin can be discovered if it is installed on a server on your LAN. sudo ufw allow 7359/udp comment "jellyfin discovery" is an example command to do this.
