Yeah I don’t think anyone sane would disagree. That’s what forced the decision for me, to expose or not. I was not going to try talking anyone through VPN setup, so exposure + whatever hardening practice could be applied. I wouldn’t really advocate for this route, but I like hearing from others doing it because sometimes a useful bit of info or shared experience pops up. The folder path explanation is news to me; time to obfuscate the hell out of that.
Exactly… But I get chastised for pointing the problem out. Called a shill because I care about security.
I RUN JELLYFIN. I HAVE IT RUNNING. Others you recommend it to should be made aware of the risks that’s all I’m trying to point out.
You can get around the MD5 issue (a bit) by obfuscating your path. Instead of
/movies/title (year)/title.ext… make it/mnt/MHhzTiM57Fv4wWQmkmb4DLDwVKoB628KBQzhBHQjGQVtsjhwRrFNU2NtRGJ4dUpg/movies/title (year)/title.extand you’ll probably be pretty damn immune to the problem as it stands now… But just blatantly telling people to use Jellyfin isn’t a good answer here without that background.Awesome, thank you, this is exactly what I was thinking when you mentioned it earlier.
