I host it publicly accessible behind a proper firewall and reverse proxy setup.
If you are only ever using Jellyfin from your own, wireguard configured phone, then that's great; but there's nothing wrong with hosting Jellyfin publicly.
I think one of these days I need to make a "myth-busting" post about this topic.
Please do so, it'll be very useful
Same for me. But according to everyone I should be destroyed.
