hi is there any local cloudflare alternative becourse from my reading it seems that that using it for jellyfin is against cloudflares TOS and i would like to get jellyfin to my domain but i dont wanna pay for it, so a loxal alternative would probably be my best bet, i also would prefer not to open any ports

Have you thought about using DuckDNS.org?

I run mine through them (it’s free) because I couldn’t work through using my own hosting since my host makes things super complicated.

well from my little knolage about them you need to use their domain right?

[–] kaitco 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah you create the subdomain and use their domain. It’s a free DNS service that prevents you from having to buy your own domain and host and setup all the DNS security yourself.

but i would like to have my own domain

I don’t think I understand your original question then.

If you want your jellyfin on your own domain like Oliper202020.com, that requires owning a domain which requires registration which incurs a cost.

If you don’t want to pay for something, just use a DNS service to redirect through their domain instead.

i want to spend money on the domain, i just dont want to pay money for a cloudflare alternative or one of the paid subscriptions

You can use your own domain and set a CNAME to any of the DDNS ones. So eg. home.mydomain.com can be a CNAME for oliper.ddns.com.
